I hear what your saying, but on the other side, I am so glad it was
coded, created
Due to the country im in (ZA).
Over here we only have one monopolistic Telephone company (which
hopefully is all changing)
Therefore they dictate what type of connections will be available
Currently there is only:
Normal phone dial up (max 56k)
ISDN
ADSL (512k max and has a 3gb cap)
and Diginet.
Freaking Diginet is soooo over priced, it makes it virtually not
affordable (+/- R10 000 for 64K diginet line)
And then there is ADSL (what I have), but the problem is that we dont
get a static IP therefore I am forced to create pop3 accounts on my ISP
box (more Rands get paid) and the I need fetchmail to fetch the mail,
and because its a dynamic ip, I have to smart host my mail to the isp,
other wise the RBL will sort if out for me, so DNS lookups are not an
option.
If any want more info look at
www.hellkom.co.za (its not a satanic site,
before anyone gets excited).
Therefore, in closing, to anyone that stays in the UK, has broadband and
an uncapped connection, I envy you.
Kind Regards
