Yeah, Tas is a bit of a hole. But hey, at least you're not in Canberra! I'm about 20m outside the NBN test zone in Melbourne, which is fairly bollocks, although supposedly works in my area will be completed ~February 2014.
Yep, it's pretty bad but some the forests are amazing. Wow that sucks! Ours is supposed to already be done...

I guess I'll finally answer this.  I used to live in Northern Colorado, but now I live in Central Pennsylvania.

Funny thing, everyone here never says Pennsylvania.  We always say PA, the state initial.  Back in Colorado people never say "Yeah I'm from CO", they always say "I'm from Colorado".  Well, in Pennsylvania I've heard "I'm from PA" more than "I'm from Pennsylvania".  

Just a little observation.  
Interesting. I wonder if there are other US states that are like that.

Pennsylvania doesnt' exactly roll off the tongue, though.

Well, I guess California kind of does that. "Yo mane I'm from Cali...  " and I believe people who live in the state of New York make an effort to differentiate themselves from the hell hole I can only imagine NYC itself being. And of course, if you live in NYC you say, "N.Y.C." so people know you're from the city and not elsewhere.

I am currently liveing in Elwood, Indiana. A little search on Google gives you a bit of the history for this small town. Elwood is the current home of Red Gold Tomatoes. It use to have a major natural gas well back in the day which made it a great place for glass and canning companies. Back in the 40's, Wendall L. Willkie accepted the nomination for President as a candidate of the Republican Party. He was born in Elwood

I might as well post that I live in Lincoln, Nebraska. It's a pretty lower medium sized city with a little over 200,000 people. Even though there isn't a whole lot here I'd say that It's a pretty good place to live.

Wollongong, Australia, here it's just an hour or so from Sydney along the coast, great to see we have some fellow Australians here!

Born in Redditch UK 1988 came to Australia when I was 2, never been back to the UK, but we are going in October this year.

Sydney, Australia is a place where the transport never works - the train breaks down every week and so do buses. The Internet is also slow. Sigh.
Yep :( I know :( NBN probably won't fix it either considering it'll be congested as all shite.

Adelaide, Australia. First Australian city not settled by convicts.

1.2 million people in the middle of nowhere. The nearest city is Melbourne, a mere 8 hours drive away.
