Point Piper residents found out days ago for some reason.

48 hours after news broke on the BBC website that UK Labour would introduce free full fibre broadband if elected in December, millions of Australians caught up on the news due to problems with a painfully slow internet connection.

While most Australians are furious at their Internet provider for the poor service and even angrier at Malcolm Turnbull for ruining everything, residents of Sydney’s eastern suburbs just finished downloading all six seasons of Downton Abbey in 3.6 seconds.

The delay in discovering the free broadband news is not the half of it. There are voters in some Australian Labor electorates that have only just loaded news that Scott Morrison has replaced Malcolm Turnbull as PM, and they’ve got mixed feelings to say the least.
