The price I pay is that I only have 512K download speed. Upgrading to a modern speed would mean paying a lot more for the bandwidth I use.

Also, what sort of speeds are you getting?</p> <p>At work we churn those sorts of numbers, although it's mostly backups and the like.</p> That’s a lot of downloads, John; may I ask who your ISP is, please?
