I moved house today, but British Telecom are now telling me they will have to erect a new telegraph pole to provide me with a landline (the existing pole is full up) and they may not even deign to do this at all. So I'm stuck using my 'violated' iphone as an emergency modem. 34kbps means I won't be doing a lot of surfing until/unless this landline thing gets resolved and i get back onto the broad band of joy/sorrow.
Over and out-ish (will probably get here every couple of days or so...)

34kbs isn't that bad. I've used a 14kbs GPRS connection many times and survived the web browsing that I've needed to do.
Camino is really nice for low bandwidth because of it's great feature of blocking flash downloading. (But of course you'll need to spend time downloading Camino first)  |

I feel your pain, kind of...I recently got faster cable to replace my older DSL and I think if my bandwidth went back to what it was I'd go nuts
