Want to know just how mainstream broadband technology has become?

Of course, the article doesn't indicate just what it is farmers are doing with their bandwidth.

Hope the farmer's get the faster internet but I have no sympathy. I live in Florida and can't get broadband either.

Somebody started and then abandoned a farming blog with a JPEG of a field. Four months later, tired of hitting their browsers' Refresh button, farmers started asking when they were going to see some wheat.

There is no longer a need to put up with shockingly slow internet - the ONSPEED software product will accelerate Dial-up by between 5 and 10 times. It will also accelerate Broadband by up to three times also!!Details are at www.OnSpeedAsia.com
