Hi,

just recieved the following email from a mate who lives in Hong Kong!


>Just to give you Broadband envy, this latest company is 8mb upload and
>download for about 12 pounds a month.

>(The 10mb company doesn't cover my building, sulk).


Now personally I'm not sure just what I'd be downloading with such a big
fat pipe!  But for a tenner a month, that's pretty good!

Just how backward are we.  I'm one of the lucky ones with a 512k cable
modem.

Oh well!

Cheers
Chris
