    i remember when i was caught without a broadband connection... i refused to use dial up. i'd rather not see the internet at all.

            Yes, my brethren. I, too, know what it feel like, to go from high bandwidth to low bandwidth. You must believe. Believe in the day where you suffering will end, and, your happiness will begin.

                i'm in Banff, and no longer in at The Springs. decided to rent a place out here for the summer on a whim.

                i have 'high speed', but it's a joke. unbelievably slow. i'm calling them on Tuesday to have it upgraded to whatever the fasted account is.

                will have to suffer till then...

                  Hehehe... the price to pay for your snowboarding passion! Congrats at getting the place for the summer though, I'm sure for the right price your ISP will get you whatever you need :-)

                              A few months after I got married we found a kick ass house for a great price. I told my wife we weren't moving if they didn't have high speed, luckily they did. I CAN NOT live over shit internet.
