You lucky bastard over there in Utopia! ;-)

My ADSL is 256Kb downstream and 64Kb upstream. I pay about USD50 per month 
with a data cap of 1GB per month. Still, this is far better and cheaper than 
the dialup connection I have had before. 

The so-called digital divide isn't all that much about technology, computers 
or other gadgets.; It's about knowledge and, mainly, bandwidth and its costs. 
I still have customers that run a 100 workstations business on a 128Kb line, 
paying more than USD1000 per month for it.

Alright, we are straying far from the topic here. Good luck to Dale!
