My DSL connection is of the Fiber Optic type which means I have a network cable running from a box on the corner outside my house into my PC, but everything from the box on is fiber optic, but my DSL is still limited to 1.5Mbit Down and 256 KBit Up, when I asked the technician why my speeds were like this he told me it was an artifical cap imposed by the phone company becuase they were not allowed to sell anything faster to residential customers. Probably because they would be stepping on the shoes of companies selling T1 and faster lines. I can only imagine what kind of speeds I could get if they removed the cap!
Damn, whatever happened to taking responsibility for your own actions. There are many many ways to practice safe sex and prevent pregnancy. Whether you are for or against abortion, the fact that one in five pregnancies in America are terminated is an alarming number when you think about how simple it would have been to prevent that pregnancy in the first place. For the record, I am against abortion, but at the same time I don't think I or anyone else has the right to tell a woman she cannot have one.
