Hate to disagree with you on this one, But at least we in the US/Canada, a 2am F1 race is live, Saturday night/Sunday Morning... Our poor friends from Australia are stuck with tape delay and on Monday Morning? I'de be fired from work for sure from being hours late every other monday if that was the case for me, and don't get me started on how much it would suck staying away from Sports channels and the internet so as not to spoil the surpise of the races outcome.

Exactly.. I deal with the time delay and tape broadcast in a way, I try not to visit any new sporting website, not to watch any news on TV and TELL MY FRIENDS ON PHONE CONVERSATIONS NOT TO INFORM ME OF THE RESULT until i've watched it...
then I innocently logon to the BBC website only to be presented with the title "Hamilton and McLaren fail due to a mistake"...

Not to mention that I didn't care much when I fell sleep during the broadcast after hamilton's episode, there wasn't much else to see

For those of you advocating FOXTEL, please don't.

It's financially difficult for me to justify having a TV only to turn it on once every fortnight to watch F1 (During the past couple of months I have never watched anything on TV on than motorsport). There is no way that I will pay more money to Telstra to get cable. NO WAY.

Whose fault do you think it is that all broadband internet plans in Australia are capped? (hint" starts with "Tel"). And you Aussies have put up with this thing for years while the whole concept of limiting download per GB is foreign in North America, Japan, Europe, and anywhere else I can think of.

Yet you keep paying Telstra more and more and more...

I have realised that Telstra is the single entity which means Australia is a third world country when it comes to Internet, Cable TV, 3G coverage, fiber optic coverage, etc.

I have made a decision not to pay a cent to Telstra since I have moved down here, and I will
continue to do so even if F1 is moved to FOXTEL.

ive been complaining about telstra's incompetance for years! the only choice i had to watch the champcar world series in the beginning of the year, race director, was impossible due to the downright **** internet telstra provides! instead of internet, they go out with some 'next-g' mobile coverage. Who gives a crap about that!!!! phones are for calling and texting, not surfing the net! thats what computers and proper internet is for


Telstra a run by a group of self loving boneheads who deserves to be publically bitchslapped by every single Australian (for those who are from overseas, that mgiht sound dramatic, but trust me they deserve it. and every single Australian would agree with me!)

If you want to watch the race live, send me a PM. You will need broadband.
