    Congratulations, have you already done what everyone does when they first get cable and download a LOT of *coughs* stuff?

    That's what the Romans used back in the BC times.

    Way to rip the subtleties out of the previous statement concerning this.

    Cable is not that common here, homes to far apart. Massive download costs (up to 17c / Mb)

    Only one company has ADSL over 1500Kbit (and it only started in Jan 2005)

    I am lucky enough to be on one of their DSLAMs and get 800Kbit / 3Mbit.

    If you anything like me you'll never go back to dialup!

    I don't think *anyone* could possibly go back to dialup after having cable, it's just crazy to think of anyone who would want to do that.

    ADSL isn't that bad if it's 512/3mb.
