In my living room we have 6 computers all sharing a 56k line. You can imagine how unbearibly slow it gets when 2 people are downloading, 1 person trying to surf, another uploading, etc..
We have to live with this because the only broadband available here (and 20 miles from here) is satelite. While satelite would be a whole lot better than what we have now, it is much too expensive for upstream and downstream service(www.starband.com).
If only cable and DSL was available to everyone...

What exactly is the question here? Isn't it "Ask Slashdot"? I see no question marks in the entire message.
