It's (slowly) coming to our region, starting with the areas where people make lotsa money, natch. Of course, I live in a low income part of town...

So, the DSL router showed 256/256 for a day, then I saw some weird network crap happening, went to the status page and it showed 900/444 - higher than it had ever been before. I ran some tests, and sure enough, I'm getting around that throughput.

And I'm only paying for 256/256. :D

When somebody asks you to trade your freedoms for security, it isn't your security they're talking about.

Might as well be using dialup. :P - (inthane-chan) - (14) - March 17, 2006, 05:22:53 PM EST
