I feel for you - I had dial up until July of '08 and DU was worth reading but not posting... way too slow.

8. Depends on the ISP

I'm guessing there is a lot of spare capacity because all business and government has ceased except for essential services.

6. The internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck.

It's a series of tubes.

And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

:crazy:
