I average about 2 Mb/s (not MB/s)

 

In other words, I can queue up about 6 gig of downloads, and have them
waiting for me in the morning :-)

 

I had DSL for a few years, and loved that as well.  DSL is in my opinion
a better technology, but more expensive for comparable throughput.  I
hope that this can be remedied in the future (or that cable can get a
better throughput).  

 

For those who think broadband is unavailable to them, check out some of
the satellite options.  The latency is a bit higher, since the
information has to travel to a satellite and back, but the speeds are
pretty good.  It's also available to anyone that can see the southern
sky.

Pretty cool... 

Is that lossless compression?

I'm still a firm believer in broadband.  I've had broadband in one form
or another for about 5 years now (no I don't mean ISDN), and wouldn't
live in a place where I couldn't get it.  But then again, what can I
say, I'm a geek!
