I can remember the days of dial up about 5 years ago... was a techniclogical breakthru for me. Took about 5 minutes for breasts to appear

Dialup doesn't even work at all for many websites these days.

Dialup doesn't even work at all for many websites these days.

Yet there are still many parts of the country that can only get dial-up. I'm only 10 km out of town, yet neither Ihug nor Xtra will supply this far out. I am on broadband with Ihug, but it is marginal.

Which is incredibly bad web design.

But alas, incredibly common

I've got clients where the people next door have ADSL and 30 metres further down the road, they are out of range.

Then again, I've got clients 3km up a gravel road that've got more solid ADSL than I have in town.

One of the big issues is exchange overloading. I think that's Jatz'z issue too.

No Our problem is the exchange is out of date. It needs upgrading but Telecom is to busy spending coin on advertising and making sure you can get cell coverage when your out fishing

At my age that sort of thing has to appear slowly......and unfortunately it does. 51kbs is it at present.

Took about 40 years for my breasts to appear.

Yeah, a fair bit of radiation from those old screens.

Broadband, between 6-10mbps
Why it isn't more consistent, I do not know. 'tis fast a fuck in my books anyway.
