I’ve been missing out

Broadband – ADSL2 has speeds of 24Mbps?!

I’m on 56kbps… good ole dial up…
Kinda embarrassing…

Oh well won’t need to worry where I’m going.

I want a laptop. Free.

    Hey hey hey – are you even IN our 56K cliche?
    Seriously want a T shirt now. It’d be my Oz souvenir shirt to wear in every country – esp the ones that don’t have internet.

    I decided you all smell so am leaving the country indefinitly. j/k
    Uk, Germany, Middle East and USA/Canada. Hopefully living in Canada for a while starting November.

  5. Oh yeah, or what about say, 14.4 Mbps data on your 3G phone? (Though admittedly we only get up to 1.8 Mbps in Australia so far… :P )

    Johnny: At least Jo is leaving… which is as good an excuse as any. You on the other hand… LOL, 1999 called and they want their dial-up modem back!

    *sigh*

    1999 was a great year. even I was ahead of the tech game then…

    I ditched 56k in Feb 2000 when optus cable rolled into my street. Been a loving user since then! We laughed (3gb.. ok maybe not), we cried (netstats died!) and we celebrated (36gb/month now, sufficient).

    Any regular 3g phone can download at a yokle-inducing 300kbps anyhow. Those new fancy hsdpa ones at 1.8mbps. 56k users, people have faster internet than you in their pants! Their PANTS

    Gosh, I wonder what they’re using it for. Sickos with pants-internet

    That’s right! Only sickos would have uber fast connections and download copious amounts of data into the palms of their hands.

    Actually, lately I’ve been finding my frustrating 56k liberating.
    I have too much speed at the office, spending all my time on the net. If I had that at home, I’d be at it again. It’s better everything loads slower when at home.
    I just don’t attempt it at all. Relax.
