I never quite realised how much I depended on the Internet for communication, entertainment and information before my internet connection at home went down the pan.
Now I’m back up and running with a tasty ADSL2 connection (running at about 5Mb) and I’m over the moon. Never before has a simple light made anyone happier - the router’s “I’m-synced-with-the-line-and-connected” light. Yes, I know… such a technical term.
