I believe we were talking about the less fortunate amongst us who aren't in 
an area supplied by an forms of broadband ( cable or ADSL ). Personally i'm 
60 miles North of Inverness , the choices are modems , ISDN or Satellite.

Of those , modems are hampered by a bad line ( unreliable 14.4 connection 
even after two days of engineers working to fix the line ) , ISDN is 
conditional on the signal being strong enough from the exchange which is 4 
miles away ( 50/50 apparently ) and Satellite access isn't here yet.
