I am on a cable modem ( actuall a cisco cable router) that stays connected twenty-four hours a day. I pay the equivalent of $25 USD per month for it. If you connect to a fast site, it is very quick. For example, retrieving the fifty or more lug emails usually takes under ten seconds. I am lucky that I live in Canada, the leader in the telecommunications industry. We had the phone company ADSL modems two or three years ago and were the first city in North America to have them in widespread use. It must be all the modern Northern Telecom (a Canadian Company) phones switches that have been installed in the past few years, replacing older units. Actually, what most people don't realize is that for Europeans, every call is a toll call, even the one to their next door neighbor. That is why we get complaints about the amount of traffic on this list from Europeans.
