We actually have a fractional DS-3 here, but usage is restricted in the dormitories.
Oh well, 609 kB/s is good enough for me, at least over the 'Net.

I think that I won another contest here. The worst computer and internet here! In my Battle.Net clan, I have the worst computer and Internet clocked at Pentium 2 333 MHz and 28.8k dialup. Yes, p2 333 and 28.8k... This is a contest I know that I can definately win!!! And the 28.8k part of it is the worst, takes me all night to get AMV's and almost 30 minutes to an hour to get music... Can't wait for this summer tho... CABLE MODEM AND IT'S GONNA BE REALLY FAST CAUSE MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE DISHES AND WE ARE TEH ONLY ONES WITH CABLE!!!! MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!

I'm stuck on a crappy, 28.8 connecton as well.... BUT After JUNE, It won't matter anymore!!! Because I'll be moving and then I'll get myself an ADSL Connection....

Where I live at the moment, you can only get one-way sat.. and it costs a ton...
