Third-world dial-up connection...? Does that mean that people in the so

Hell man I live in a major US city with Verizon as the phone company and
earthlink as the ISP and I only have 4th world service. Would love for
Verizon to provide at least 3rd world but the chances of that are null
and less than negative infinity.
Heh. I went from 36.6Kbps in a major US city to 56Kbps in a minor US town
and consider myself blessed. It'll be twenty years before we get DSL. :-\
When I got my house, I had two phone lines put in right away so I would
have one for the computer. This was before DSL or Cable Internet was
available. The phone company had a shortage of lines in the area, so
they used this box that multiplexed two phone lines on one pair of
wires. The best I could do was 26.6Kps. You would not believe how happy
I was when Telosity started offering DSL in my area. It was worth all
the trouble I had to go through to actualy get it installed. (I also
loved that they gave you a static IP, and would let you run servers.)
