Yes, yes, it's a surprise…an Australian saying Australia sucks but that's not entirely true. As we all know, Australia is the best country and continent in the world but with most places, it has some downsides. One of these downsides are the internet. It's absolutely crap in Australia and most Australians agree with me on this. The reason why I'm saying all this is because…god bless America! It's such an amazing place. As some of you might know, Starbucks in California (and maybe other states) use google fibre internet and provide it to it's costumers for free. It's the most bloody brilliant internet I've used in my whole lifetime (which isn't very long). Here is the download speed, etc etc:
Holy crap mate….and that's for free?! God bless America!!! I forgot how much I've missed America…
At the moment in Australia, I'm getting 1-2mb/s down and 0.2-0.5mb/s up. I come to America, get a nice drink and get free internet that's 82x better than what I get in Australia (and I pay for it). I think I might move back here..lmao

Uh I don't think that that's Google fiber. Also those speeds are decent, but not that great. :)Also, how do you get such slow speeds if you're doing a speedtest to a local server? Unless you guys have incredibly bad wiring throughout the nation…

First of all thats BS, Using a VPN does not increase download speed if anything it slows down your connection as it reroutes all your traffic through several proxy servers then back to you (Takes longer to do this).

He's saying that's what he gets through his VPN, he may get more outside it.
