Doesn't seem like we are going forward, oh what the hell, Lets all go backward back to dial up and if you want high speed internet, there is always ISDN. Blazing fast. God bless america.

Not always. I've seen locations, where the copper in the ground is so poor, a modem will fail a handshake @ 9600.

Uh... Then I guess there's 1200 baud to fall back on? 300 baud? I remember using an old TI portable terminal with a phone handset coupler and built-in thermal printer (no display).

It would make an "interesting" web browsing experience...
