Finally: DSL at home

After about eight years (or were it nine?) with 64k at home, we finally upgraded to a 2Mbit ADSL line at home. This makes so much things easier and faster, wow. Of course, I had a whopping 6Mbit line in Vienna since mid-October already, but at the weekends, doing something on the Internet was just cruelsome slow.

The only downside: Now, when I accidentally hit a MySpace link, the extraordinarily stupid brain-damaged embedded music files start playing right away. With 64k, I still had enough time to quickly close the tab before the music loaded ;)
