    I just hate all South Koreans, Europeans and Americans! :( When I read this kind of news, I start feeling warm and fuzzy towards North Koreans, Arab immigrants and Al Quaeda...

    Currently I too need to make a choice.
    - To stay with my cable access provider and pay ~80$/month for 128/32Kbps using about 1Gb of traffic (traffic costs 0.07$/Mb).
    - To get ADSL and pay 200$ for installation and 60$ monthly for 64/16Kbps and supposedly unlimited traffic.
    - To pay 10$ for monthly night dial-up access (2:00-9:00) and schedule large downloads for the dial-up, while using cable access during the day for surfing, e-mail and stuff. :-(((((

    And where do you think I live? Zimbabve? Cuba? Argentina? Bangladesh? No, the second largest city of Russia, just 200 km from Finland, the most wired and the most wireless country. Fuck!
