Let's just say that something I learnt very early on was that the then
80%of net bandwidth used by the USA (this was 4-5 years ago when I first
left the narrow confines of Fido BBS' to roam the great wide world) was,
and is, assumed by many to be 100% ... it's not so bad though, being an
Aussie is still a novelty and has it's advantages (the cyberian equivalent
of the old "What does an Aussie do for foreplay in California? Say G'Day)
;)
Cheers, Andrew
