    A breath of fresh air, isn't it? We had it installed at home a couple of weeks ago.

    Pity I'm at uni 5 days a week.

            512kbps.

            And the house I stay in at uni doesn't have an optic cable connection; we do, however, possess copper wire technology, allowing blistering speeds of 56kbps .

                  hehe. It seems that you're not living in the dorms.

                  Besides, ADSL goes over regular phone lines.

                    True. The dorms do have cable connections which are ridiculously fast, but I moved out of there after the first semester because, frankly, I hated living there.

                    The net connection was the only thing I missed.

                        My broadband connection at home is only 128kps, but it's more than enough to surf the forums and download a few mp3's.

                        A much faster one would be nice, but the cost/benefit ratio isn't enough to justify it yet.

                          howm much does it cost?

                          ADSL sums up for around 80 USD here, per month, both ISP, and telephone

                            80 $ ?

                            Got ADSL last week, too, and I consider the 40 € expensive...

                              I think our 128kps is around £20 a month, but the cost is a little blurred since it is part of the combined phone/DigitalTV/internet package we get.
