Hi Yinyang4evry1
I also have dialup, but Broadband is coming to our area early next year hopefully.

Cheers

My Telephone Exchange is broadband enabled, but my home is 9KM of copper cable away, so I have to wait for further advances in the BT infrastructure/technology to get a reliable connection speed, they can't even guarantee a 256KB connection rate. So I may have some wait.

Your very lucky.  :D ( I have a little joke about super quick internet ) ; " Moving lots of data are we ? "  ;)
For business it's essential for me to have broadband otherwise I'd get nothing done and go broke. At home I just have 56K dialup. In Australia distance is a killer as far as fast connections , except in the major city's .
