But there are so many other programs these days...like good old i-tunes that can slow your computer down. And now with this bandwith/router problem the ISPs have an excuse to start rationing on a larger scale...<BR/><BR/>Hi JJ!! I read your post and sympathized. I don't know what I'd do if I had to go back to dial-up. When I come across it occasionally it takes me back in time!! :)<BR/>The interesting this is that this problem would have been caught sooner if so much fibre optic cable hadn't been left over from the hi-tech boom and bust. So they didn't bother to lay down more. Or build up their routing system which is the main problem now. I have a feeling that the wildest days of the internet are behind us and it's going to be a lot more corporate in future. But hopefully I'm wrong!! :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-74122308329070658762007-11-22T12:10:00.000-05:002007-11-22T12:10:00.000-05:00Oh no Simon, say it ain't so!!!
