Goodbye to the information goat path

So finally, finally, after six years of dialup hell - especially recently, when BT's initially great Anytime service has been next to useless, due to inability to connect remotely reguarly - the broadband revolution has reached my little corner of Oxfordshire, thanks to the fine folks at NTL. I now have a 512Kbps cable modem connexion and boy am I pleased with it. I've gone from 48Kbps on an analogue modem and downloading stuff at 3.8KB/s if I was lucky to getting the full Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, all 101MB of it, in about 25 minutes, at over 67KB/s. Bit of an improvement there. I got an mp3 off the Guitarist magazine web site last night at 85KB/s. I'm sure that shouldn't be possible. But I'm not complaining.
