New Internet

Today we changed our internet connection. We used to have a crappy 64 kbps connection, which cost us around 55 US dollars a month. That ISP was shit and were ripping people off. Now we're using a 768 kbps program that costs around 40 US dollars per month and includes a free modem. Still a lot below average compared to the developed world - but it is one of the best bargains here in Indonesia.

We also used a wireless router to spread the joy of the web in the interior of our house (and lucky neighbors, if any). Now members of my can family get online in their rooms using laptops. My Mom then commented, "We should have done this ages ago". I totally agreed.

Well future me, this is the first day of wireless, medium speed internet access. A few years ago, on the now defunct Tech TV (rest in peace), one of hosts said, "Invest in high speed internet, it'll change your life". Lets see if it'll really have any affect on our family, besides getting us addicted to Youtube.
