   Good day Mark,   
      
    HG> Yes I know, I've had DSL before, and it used the same line.   
      
   ml> i wasn't aware of that...   
      
   Well, that was more than four years ago.   
      
   ml> personally speaking, i wouldn't be using wifi... it is insecure,   
   ml> easily penetrated and highly suceptible to interference from   
   ml> electrical sources...   
      
   I've had no problems since I started using it in december.   
   OTOH, I'm not connected except when I have to receive or send something.   
      
   AVG and ZoneAlarm are working in the background when the machines are on   
      
   ml> I won't even mention it being slower than wired or fiber...   
      
   I accept the speed I get on the 3G WiFi.   
      
   ml> i don't know what the cost of DSL is over there but my   
   ml> 3M/768k line is only $40US... that's copper for a mile or so where   
   ml> it connects into a DSLAM and jumps to fiber for the long haul...   
      
   I don't have the price list for DSL or fiber, but the SMALL WiFi costs   
   me about $16 US a month.   
      
   There are five classes, XSMALL, SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE 4G and XLARGE 4G.   
   They differ in speed  :2Mbit/s_Full 3G_Full 3G__Full 4G_____Full 4G   
   and allowed data amount:250Mb__ 20Gb____50GB____100Gb_______Unlimited   
   The allowed data amount is per month.   
      
   ml> $40US a month for a hobby plus additional capabilities is much less   
   ml> than some people spend in a week on their hobbies...   
      
   Yes, but all depends on the thickness of your wallet.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
