  1. Re:Good for broadband too on Low-bandwidth Net Radio · · Score: 1

    Sorry to hear that your employees listen to net radio at work. How about video streams as screen savers? Seriously, bandwidth is a commodity nowadays and the whole squeeze-more-into-an-acoustic-coupler discussion is pretty pathetic. 3Mbit down/384kBit upstream DSL here (Germany) with 5 GB of data is now less than 40 dollars/month, going down quarterly. All I can say is that the only quality difference between a 160kbit/s stream compared to 192 (e.g. at shoutcast) is your speakers.

    Hi thaWhat, correct approach. US citizens should speed up to study Spanish anyway, before it is too late. As native German and European I am used to the multi-language thing. BTW: Need an invitation for orkut. Drop me an email at wjsteiner@hotmail.com!

    Plus Canadians are closer to France than one may assume.

    Definitely mass. Ariane 5 is the only working and available rocket that lifts 6 metric tons into orbit.

    How do you get broadband access? Do you have to buy a basic phone line (say from SBC) for another $40/month? Greetings, Wolfgang

  6. Re:Bandwidth available?? on Good News From The High-Speed Networking Front · · Score: 1

    Reality check. What's all that talk about fiber? I am about to move into Chicagoland and would be glad to find out where I can get DSL. Answer SBC: We need your address to tell you if or if not. Here (Germany) we have a coverage of 90%+ and they are rolling out flat rates with 3Mbit access for 50 bucks/month as we speak.
