For the umpteenth time I have tested the speed of my internet connection, only to find that I am still not getting what I am paying for!
Not even close!
I'm supposed to get download speeds of up to 3500 Kbit/s and upload speeds of up to 300 Kbit/s.

I suppose I have to consider myself lucky - when I first applied for ADSL, I was informed it wasn't available where I live. You see, up here on my hill we still have telegraph poles with wires running from one to the next ...
... not suitable at all!

Then someone changed their mind - it is technically possible after all. I can't have Cable TV, but to prevent me making more silly requests, I may have ADSL. What flavour would I like?
Well, something fast please, so that I can remotely access my machine ...

I suppose the definition wasn't precise enough. I can access my machine remotely but it doesn't do me any good - I can look at my screen but to move anything on it is impossible.

The crazy thing is - were I to swap my 'digital' connection for an analogue connection, I could attain higher speeds. I couldn't be online all day, because I wouldn't be available by phone, but the bandwidth is larger.

Logical isn't it, that analogue is faster than digital?
