Where i live u have one choice in phone company's, ive tried EVERY ISP and
i still connect at 28.8. Whiner's?? I dont think so! I come to check my
mail, and just to see if someone usefull mailed me, i have to wait 15
minutes to download it.
I would care less if I was on DSL, but that isnt the case.
I think its called common sense.
