    ... and have access to 50Gb to 100Gb dowload speeeds. But there are some parts of the world (and bits of the UK) that are still on the "Slow" end of the Broadband party (and are lucky to get 2Mb download speed)! Imagine trying to download a DVD image of a game (roughly 8Gb) using a 2Mb connection! It would virtually take you a week of constant downloading with no breaks! The average UK user has a download limit of between 2Gb to 30Gb a month! If they are lucky they can get a game a month if not it's a game every 4 or 5 months!!

Place paper on metal spinning thing till it goes dull and scraped. Remove top platter and invert. Rinse and repeat for all sides of the remaining platters.

    How much does it cost to lay, install and Admin a fibre network for the city?? Say $30 million (rough, plucked out of thin air made up figure). TDS come along, and being the concerned citizens decide that the Fibre network is too much for the city so they sue them for $28 million. City settles for $15 million. So now TDS has been given a $15 million discount on setting up the Fibre network... = Profit....
