Duchy? Kingdom, surely? ;-)

Just checked by up to 60 Virgin speed - I'm getting 57-58 at the 
moment. Which is fine for allowing me to work from my own office, plus 
running all the Oracle downloads I need to do each time there's a new 
patch out. You used to get a patch kit with changes to be applied, now 
you get a full installation kit which is a DVD sized download, or 
bigger, depending on stuff.



There was an item on the Radio 4 news the other day about broadband 
speeds and it seems that it is now a limiting factor on selling or 
buying a house.


It used to be schools, buses, railways etc, now it's broadband, schools, 
buses, railways etc.



Cheers,
Norm.

Indeed it is.
A Worldnews colleague just pulled out of a house purchase as it *only* 
had slow boradband.
