    whats sad is that such 'advanced' countries such as the UK/US still use dialup at all. They should do a promotion of upping all dial up users to at least some basic dsl kit.

    Some people can't get DSL, like my parents who live way out in the country. Though, they do spend the money for Satellite internet.
