Currently I have a 21.6 Kbps connection to the Internet. Sometimes it gets as fast as 26.4 Kbps! The nearest broadband connection is 20 miles away. I have no hope they will ever bring cable, fiber, or WiMAX to anywhere close enough to effect my connection speed. A one megabyte attachment chokes my email system for about fifteen minutes. Larger files? Hopefully I can maintain a connection overnight or it is no use even trying. Luckily I do drive into Portland, Oregon where they do have faster connections so I take a hard drive along and all the URLs I've collected over the week so I can grab the files. No, broadband connections are not available in all locations. The U.S. has a long way to go to catch up with Japan, Korea, or Denmark. Kevin. KD5ONS
