I was paying $15 for DSL in another city, but my landlord had me put all the utilities for our 5 unit building in my name, so I was scouting out cheaper alternatives. Standard cable internet is about $48, and DSL would be about $30. A few years ago, this county in eastern Oregon, USA by the Columbia river was able to install good Wifi.

I actually looked at Vodafone, but their mobile broadband deal wasn't as good. Apparently, their mobile network extends out into the wops a bit. Re Owen: Several months ago, we were driving along and I said, "Aaaah yep" in response to something Becky said. (You should know that Becky doesn't say aaah yep, sweet as, heaps, bro, choice etc.) I find it a bit disturbing that I'm saying "Aaaaahyep" without even realizing it. Anyway, Owen barked out a very clear, "Aaaaaah yep!" from his car seat. Bex and I looked and each other and she raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "You may think he's not listening, but he is."

Owen must be a first-rate teacher of new zild. oh, and the broadband. hallelujah. it's a miracle. telecom are one of my favourite hates but if it works and it's faster and cheaper...good result for you, i hope it takes some pressure off your monthly outgoings. i used to live in a part of Japan with no xDSL access and it sucked. the wireless options back then sucked too. nowadays, in the wopwops in Japan there is more fibre coverage and more wireless broadband at realistic prices too. first of all, i have to congratulate you on your native-level use of the word “wopwops”. after such a brief residency too.
