In Australia, most internet plans (with the super expensive ones being the exception) have some sort of monthly download limit where any excess usage results in punishment, whether this be a per MB excess usage fee, or a shaped plan where the connection speed is capped at 1990's dial-up speed.
The Netherlands has no such concept- all internet is unlimited, and you pay for your speed. I'm on the cheapest possible UPC plan (around 40 euro/month including cable TV and phone line rental) and it puts Australian ISPs to shame (yes, I know there are all sorts of socio-economic population-density based reasons for this, but I don't care- I just want my steam game faster than a carrier pigeon could bring it with a USB drive strapped to it's leg). See the Speedtest results below- reaching speeds greater than 30Mbps, this is over 20 times faster than the connection Optus used to give me for my $80 per month.
There is lots of things I miss about Australia but the internet is not one of them.
