Beware of claims about 24 megabyte broadband. I was reading
a few articles over the weekend about this.
The bottom line is that very few people indeed can get
anywhere even remotely close to this speed, unless they
happen to live right next door to the telephone exchange.
In fact, one of the articles goes on to say that in many
cases, the signals travel almost a kilometre before they
actually leave the telephone exchange building.
