Re: I wonder

More bandwidth is a good thing. The difference between 768 and 6000 may not make a difference with email, but with more and more sites offering streaming audio and video services and video downloads, the download time can go way down and quality can go up with that added bandwidth. Video is the issue. (And bittorrent.)

As for slow, free WiFi, that would be great, too. My DSL was out for a week and a half last month while AT&T couldn't figure out what was wrong. If I could have picked up a free WiFi signal, it would have been no problem. Also, some people are still using Dial-up, if you can believe it. Netzero is $15/month, and AT&T (the only DSL provider in the area) is $15 but only for a promotional period, then the price goes up. A slow WiFi for $10 or $15 would be a step up from dial-up.
