It is nice when these big advances happen especially when you are out in the country.
We got DSL up here in the hills of Vermont 12 years ago. Advanced to a 20meg modem a few years back and they are now setting some poles and we get fiber optic to the house next year. Nice to have a progressive phone company here. They are also over the next three years installing a G4 network so everyone can be online everywhere in the region. I tend to forget that not everyone has a good connection to the world.

EB you will find it easy to not have to sit and wait so long to reach out.
