I'd like to point out NZ isn't the only country in the world which has
asymmetric broadband services. Cox cable for a long, long, time was
5-10Mbps down, 128k up, in a lot of states in the US. Many other
examples - a certain cable modem provider in New York was cable speeds
(2-3mbps) down, but 33.6k up. Via a modem.

Well, if we didn't have bonzi buddy and flash, you could probably get by
