    I live in the middle of nowhere (well, right next to Denver, but it is pretty suburban) and we have fiber optic cables EVERYWHERE. Construction is going on everywhere, and all you see are those little flags saying 'Caution, Burried Fiber Optic Cables'. The funny thing is, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE DSL/CABLE HERE! :hehe:

    i'm still on a 56k modem:waah: and even this crap is expensive. local phonecalls ain't free here and so it costs money to surf... i don't know how much, which is why my mother bitches at me every time i'm on the internet long.

    If I still had ISDN it would cost a hell of a lot more than broadband, just on phone calls. You can get 128k connections for just £15 a month so maybe you can convince your mum it'd be cheaper.

    Actually yes.. dialup is cheaper by €1 per month. Which I think is worth the cost considering my ADSL is 'slightly' faster & no missed phone calls (which I actually want now... everytime I play UT2003 someone rings up, its madening)

    Aww, poo. What does anyone use a 100 mbps connection for, other than the stuff listed above

    //please, don't enlighten me :lol:

    It also has a 5 GB bandwith limit, which would not be suitable for that fast of a connection.

    I'll wait for a T4, thanks :lol:

    Wow, they really go all the way, dont they? :rolleyes:

    I wonder.... how much would a one-way ticket to the US cost (though with all this Al queda and Iraqi business, it might not be a brilliant idea). At least I'm safe in Ireland... who'd want to attack this place... theres more people in london than my entire country for gods sake!

    Yeah, my forum picture folder would fill that up several times over :lol:

    I don't even use my ISP webspace, as they have strict rules as to what you can and can't do with it, grr.

    Besides, I only have 60 megs with my ISP ;)
