Don't fret too much Simon.

I went back to dial-up. DSL was nice but I didn't feel it was worth the
money.

At times it was worth every penny but the times are too far and too few
between for the cost at present.

Most of the servers I visit are so slow I didn't know I had a fat pipe.

The times you can actually use a fat pipe are really less than you think and
can't be expensed over a years cost.
