This increases turn-around time as they can send off work at the end of their day, and it will be completed and returned when they return to business in the morning. If you are moving large files around, faster broadband services will be beneficial.	Jen (38)

Error: No route to host "Hmmm... now what do I do with this here bleeding hole? Hello 123? Yeah my internet's not working! I need to sign up with Xtra? That doesn't make sense but ok, will it be installed before the anaesthetic wears off?" ADSL need not be unreliable. I had an 8Mbps Yahoo BB connection while I was in Japan for a year, and using it everyday there was only a couple of hours one morning that it didnt work. Of course, for important uses such as surgery there would have to be back-ups and even back-up connections for the back up connection no doubt since lives would be at stake, but a couple of hours down time over a year seems pretty darn reliable to me!

It takes forever to upload to a storage space, try uploading 1000 photos about 2mb each (2000mb total)! 2Gb! It took me 2 whole days. Heck, uploads of 128k is not broadband....	jesseycy (1046)

I had an 8Mbps Yahoo BB connection while I was in Japan for a yearJapan != New Zealand I get several hundred outage notifications a month from Telecom about faults on their broadband network. It's only sold as a best effort service - there's no SLA.	ninja (1671)

It's only sold as a best effort service - there's no SLA . Of course I realise that Japan does not equal NZ in terms of infrastructure, economic leverage or market size . I was merely trying to point out that the technology itself can be reliable . As for myself now, I am back on dial-up :yuck: :rolleyes:	Johnnz (7246)
437901	2006-03-14 22:32:00	i'm suprised the programmers havn't jumped into this thread. theres quite a few around here who work from home and would love decent broadband. the huge data files they need to download and sent back. having to wait for it to download it just so much wasted time. same goes for some of the writers i know. the can send full sized pictures back and forth so much quicker.	tweak'e (69)

437903	2006-03-15 00:27:00	faster up speed. yep	stu161204 (123)
437904	2006-03-15 01:11:00	A couple of my friends started up a web design company a couple of years ago (the actually started it while they were studying, but made it their full time job a couple of years ago) that they run out of their flat. The slow upload really hits them hard, as does going over their 10 gig cap.	Greven (91)
