When everyone gets their knickers in a knot over data caps and other such limits I think about my situation where the only options are dial up and satellite which comes with data caps, slow speed and high prices. I'm in my office now using telcom dsl and it is way better on all counts then what I have at home. I would love to have half speed the U.S. average.
