I agree that it's not so bad.

One complaint however is that at the moment all our traffic goes via 
Melbourne (we are in Brisbane). That's like close to a 4000km trip when we 
want access a local mirror like mirror.aarnet.edu.au. :P  It's a bit stupid 
but apparently it's only temporary.

It's a bit insane actually because I can sometimes access stuff that is on 
the other side of the planet almost as quick as something that is a few 
suburbs away. :)
