Dial up        MvdV> internet only exists in combination with good old POTS and that is        MvdV> history in most parts of the world. I would not know of any provider        MvdV> here that still offers dial up internet. It makes no sense. Voice        MvdV> telephony is VOIP. Without a digital internet connection, you have no        MvdV> telephone. And that internet connection is a 24/7 connection. Here        MvdV> analog telephony only exist as the last decameter from the ATA next to        MvdV> the cable modem to the telephone on my desk. And that last analog        MvdV> decameter will be history in the near future too.               I usually don't quote this much, but since I totally agree with everything       you say, I couldn't trim the above.               But I only want to add how easy it is for us Euro Trash Pacifist Shit Pig       Pussies to forget how fortunate we are. I've lost count of the fibre adoption       in Sweden, but last time I checked it was something like 90% of all       households. I guess you in the Netherlands are not far behind?              --        United we are strong, we win. Divided we are weak, we lose.              ..              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101125        * Origin: news://eljaco.se:4119 (2:203/2)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 114/709 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 124/5016 129/305 331 153/757 7715 154/10 201/0 203/0 2 124       SEEN-BY: 203/317 218/700 221/0 1 227/114 229/110 111 112 113 200 206       SEEN-BY: 229/275 317 424 426 428 470 550 664 700 230/0 240/5832 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/267 280 281 384 410 412 416 418 420 509 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2452/250       PATH: 203/2 0 280/464 633/280 229/426           |
