Atlassian's success reminds what a crappy place Australia is for tech business

I would like to point out to those unfamiliar with Canberra, that if you live in one of the older suburbs with overhead powerlines (and not even on the radar for NBN), you can get Transact, which will supply dead stable 60 mbit VDSL2 fibre connection for ~AUD150/month on a business plan i.e. static IP.

Plus, the weather and traffic in Canberra is way better than Melbourne. (Longing for the weather to remain constant for more than 20 minutes...)

I'm seriously considering upgrading my home link from ADSL2+ to VDSL2 now that I've discovered it's available in my area. It's not a sustainable long-term national infrastructure plan, but for my personal needs it'll serve me for at least a few more years.

And you're right about the traffic - Canberra is very nice in that regard.
