The thread seems to have devolved into two:- What do you use "BroadBand" for?
I listen to two or three radio webroadcasters: BBC; NPR; WCPE selecting programs as I feel the need. I watch news clips occasionally. I keep my gentoo distro more or less up-to-date via the citylink mirror. I web surf & e-mail list. I have a tiny interactive forum on a web server. It's more or less unused. Who's going to make this months contributory hit? http://berty.dyndns.org/forum/index.php ( It's safe from the nasty 'bots now, you have to log in even to read. ) > Forget the cap - Pauls question was about the situation if you had no cap - > and I was answering hypotheticly on that basis. So am I here. If I had a full-speed -- as in fast Ethernet -- connection with unlimited traffic I would want to watch some decent public-service television, listen to WCPE as background music all the time. My son would doubtless want to play interactive games more or less continuously until I shove him off to bed. I'd set up a streaming server to sound broadcast good readers reading (in)famous literary works as well as the text in printable form. ( and probably get no hits whatsoever except for the D.H. Lawrence stuff :-) I'd keep my distro up-to-date with a cron-job at 3am every day. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
