Shit! I really am missing out. Although Cairns is a city, having only 130,000 people, we do lack many things other cities take for granted. At the moment we have no optical fibre cable here, and adsl only goes up to 3kms from the exchange. Our local electricity supplier is soon going to cable our area, I can't wait!

It does not impair your ability to find the right answers in "guess the picture"...fast!

I don't need to click the link to be able to tell you that you'll be grinning from ear to ear when you get broadband after using dialup :-)

Now if only Telewest would get of their lazy asses and make the 1MB service available where I live so I can be even happier than I am with the 1/2MB service lol

I'm with you on this one I've been bugging Telewest for months to upgrade in my area 1/2 mb is all fine and dandy but I just want more (and I'll probably want more after that )

I got the 1MB connection wiith BT and its fast. I even noticed the difference when we moved up from 1/2MB
