I should be more considerate to others who have slow dial up internet but even at my speed things are still slow even playing videos at CNET are a pain because I always has keep buffering.
We wanted broadband but did not know anything about speed, we always relying on the assumption that broadband meant ?FAST? well not necessarily, and the prices are a joke for low speed broadband which ISP's advertise on TV as being "SUPER FAST" and yet they even advertise dial up as being very cheap.
One statistic I read in early 2005 said that over 70 % of Aussies still had dial up!, so as far as I am concerned we have are going backwards. And most ISP's only offer broadband speed as high as 1.5 m/bits for about $100.00 AUS monthly, very lousy.
