Out here in the hinterlands..we have no problems downloading Stuff.

My neighbors with cable or satellite TV don't either, but I use
antennas instead and don't pay $$$ for those services. I can turn on
prepaid Broadband2Go cellular Internet at $20 a month if I have a lot
to download. Text like this group and eBooks downloads quickly enough
on dialup, and sites that are light on images such as Wiki and Amazon
aren't bad.

There are few if any landline providers left in my area..and the one I
had was charging almost $20 a month for 56k

Time-Warner offered basic cable AND internet for $25 a month..so we
choked up on some luxuries and took it. They dont have Usenet..but
Giganews has been so good to use that I dont mind the $4.95 fee.

Uptime is absolutely fantastic and their retention rate is something
like 4 yrs or more.

Im using Time-Warners "slow" program grade..something like 3mps..but
as you say..with Usenet and binaries and web browsing..not a big deal.

What Does slow me down is I have a N wireless router here and at times
there are up to 4 people on the net here at the homestead at the same
time..so I get binaries after they all go to bed.

Xfinity (Comcast) starts at $40. I don't pay that much for
electricity.

I have almost a T1 line in speed, and 1G internal hard wire and 500M
wireless and 500M Power-line. I put the TV's/blue ray on power-line.
Laptop some times, but it likes wireless. The nice thing about having a
very high speed router doing 1Gig is file server in house. Computer
to computer is very fast and is there. It is fast to the router and
also through the router pending on the slower but almost to speed modem.

I just got it and love the i/o. I have a 1G speed NIC in my computer.
Phew - love this new computer. Memory, disk and speed.

If you do a certain amount of internal file transfer pulling audio
or video files from the tower in the office onto the laptop .....
this is the way to fly. Cisco has a nice product. Packed up my older
G router for my son when he moves out ;-)

I still share packets with the son who loves to play games all night.
But the mornings are mine!

A friend of mine was complaining about 64 Mb/s down and 81 Mb/s up in
Ocala the other day. What does he expect for $100 a month?
