It may surprise you to know that dial-up internet access is still
prevalent in many areas of Alaska (also no internet access along with
no telephone or cell phone and no roads are also prevalent but this
is where humans are also not prevalent).

My parent's farm home in Michigan only had 51 kB/s dial-up service as
none of the wireless networks would reach them (no cableTV or
DSL).  So there may be more than one thinks!

But agree generally with points made by the original poster.  I
receive this reflector as a digest so there is a delay in time for me
to read it.  I have the reflector address saved in my address book
and merely cut-n-paste the topic to a new e-mail to make
replies.  This means I must also cut-n-paste any of the previous
text, so I tend to pare that down.

I did not post any of the previous posts on this topic since everyone
should know the topic by now.  If not then just hit "Delete".

I have DSL 3-GB/s, landline, and DishNet-TV....and ham radio :-)

It might also surprise people to know that many "more civilized" areas
of the US have limited speed (but I don't know what that has to do with
this thread).  My wireless is 30K down and 256 up.  Dialup/backup is
21.2 at the best.  Cable/DSL, non-existent.  Not everyone lives in the
city.

At least you take the time to properly change the subject and edit out
the extra stuff not pertinent to the thread.  I hate it when subject
says Re: Digest #xxxx, etc., and has 500 lines of non-edited content.
