After about a 25 year wait....I finally have broadband! Woo hoo!! I am still more than a bit amazed that I can even have more than one tab open at a time, after all the dial up years. Someone finally realized...that this remote area is in fact still part of planet earth! This is awesome!!

Ya know I would imagin still 70% if not more of this county I'm in and others around me still either have to settle on dialup, 3G or over priced satellite internet. It's a damn shame the phone company around here won't push DSL farther out or even the cable company won't drop lines to get those customers out and about.

That's gotta be a great feeling. I don't think I could live with a dial up connection. Our speed at work is 1500/1500 and it feels like it just crawls. When I get home the world seems to open up.

I so hear that one! Lots of promises...wish I had a buck for every one of those!

Trust me...I had no other options. Even satellite sucks here...and way too limited for my activity...such as the constant folding programs on several machines. I am a happy camper!
