Now more broadband than unmetered

Broadband has out-stripped unmetered dial-up connections in the UK for the
first time, official figures show.
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the number of always-on
connections reached 31% in July, compared with 29% for unmetered access.

Competition, falling prices and better availability is fuelling the growth.

Although dial-up is on the wane, it is still the way most Britons connect to the
net, with more than a third paying per minute.

broadband instead

Might get to see you on Live soon then?
I think you made the right choice of broadband over the card because Doom 3 can
wait, yet there are many other games waiting for you :-)
