All I want for Xmas is ...................................... A Decent Internet Speed

iinet recently upgraded my plan quota, doubled it actually, thanks iinet.
I don't want to sound ungrateful after all, I move quite a fe photos around, use Google Drive and use Lynda for hints and tutorials on Lightroom.

However, here's the reality of my internet.

1. I am in Clear Island Waters, so I am not exactly in the boonies!













2. I am on the iinet equipment at the local exchange, so there's supposedly no hardware issues.
BUT here's the latest speed test:









Australia ranks 30 from 55 countries in the latest Akamai rankings and I barely get half of the Australian average.
