Of course :) I lived in Sydney for a year, but even there I had a 24Mbit ADSL2+ line, which is still under a minute to download this.

You were comparing London (huge metropolis) with Sydney (another huge metropolis).

Those data points aren't really as different as you seem to think :)

Sydney certainly didn't seem like a 'metropolis' when I was there :) But seriously, Australia in general has poor internet bandwidth, by dint of its limited transoceanic cables, so I thought it was a fair comparison!

200MB takes around 1hour to download where I'm living.

I don't think people believed I wasn't trolling. Sorry.
