Fedora 64Bit + Firefox + latest patches.
NTL 1.5Mb
Hey, even NTL WebMail is working like lightening, for the first time ever in my experience.

For a minute I thought I had been freely and quietly upgraded to the (soon to be rumoured) 5Mb Tier.

If NTL don't hurry up with the speed increases we will still be on the bottom rung when they do arrive, are we awaiting a celebrity to press the button or what?
I hear Jimmy Tarbuck is now free since the P&O Cruise Ship (Aroura?) limped back into Southampton, available and cheap (should appeal to NTL).

(don't mention Southampton in any message containing the word speed)

sorry

you have to laugh...
