Yeah, Roku should be concentrating on Australia, where 1 in 5 internet users still use 56K dialup access - you're going to be streaming a whole lot of netflix over the ocean at dialup speeds there! HA!
In December 2012, 2% of Australians used dialup, and 98% used broadband, according to TechRadar.
Sorry Basil - they really need to update Wikipedia then, out of 8 million people, 1.3 million still used dialup there.
Also Amazon S3 service as well as most internet service is the slowest on Planet Earth to Australia because they need to use undersea cable from Australia to Asia, and then from Asia it bounces around a lot before getting to the USA.
Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if any surface packages didn't take 3 months to get to Australia - you really have to feel for their unbelievable pain from being a former prison colony.

Is there anything in Australia that doesn't want to kill you? It's the poison/venomous capital of the world.

By comparison, Russia has 10 GBit service available for most all of their citizens, so it'd probably be a better idea to actually work in Russia and get Cyrillic text implemented on roku before the end of the 21st century...
