6 ways to realize your Internet connection is a little slow: 1.Graphics arrive via FedEx. 2.You post a message to your favorite Newsgroup and it displays a week later. 3.Your credit card expires while ordering on-line. 4.Playboy web site exhibits "Playmate of the year"... for 1989. 5.You receive e-mails with stamps on them. 6.You click the "Send" button, a little door opens on the side of your monitor and a pigeon flies out.
No, I use SWBELL ADSL service for most of my stuff. But I also use T1 and T3 lines as well as dedicated cable lines. Just depends upon which office we are talking about. Some of the offices are in smaller towns where ADSL is not available or even in some of the larger cities where we are too far away from the central office for ADSL.
