For the amount of time that the average person actually spends online, I'd settle for a slower connection rather than spending 150% more than the price of dialup. Goodness, do you offer to pay your electric company three times as much as the bill really is also? If the answer is yes, contact me and I'll give you some of my bills to pay too!
