The whole point being that:
1. At what many (over-privileged) people say is the edge of the boondocks
you can still get over a 1Mb connection.
2. It doesn't drop for long if at all.
3. You don't care how long you are connected as it is the same cost.
4. The big one ... it works out cheaper than dialling up, connecting,
dropping, re-dialling etc and it is less frustrating.
No two ways about it, if it is available use it. It is cost effective
except for the rare people that do not connect each day. Any round here
that fit the bill?
