seeing as u might find it interesting, and its related to your explanation, i'll explain the fuckundrum that results in me unable to get ADSL2+ despite living extremely close to an exchange and inside a residential area.
there is one exchange about 1km away from my house, but afaik due to fucked urban planning, the line from my house doesn't go there and instead travels 7km to the middle of fucking nowhere. i guess that means too much signal loss because it can't be installed.
thankfully, the wonderful people at telstra are able to fix me up with a fabulous wireless solution. only $99/month for minute internet usage that gets capped in 2 seconds!!!!!!! i guess the good thing is, is that it is extremely fast and stable.

but what good is it with no fucking usage.
not only internet infrastructure, but infrastructure in general is abhorrent in this country. not due to the size of the country, but due to the incompetence of governments in undertaking infrastructure projects. i don't see it getting much better in the future either.
