Lol, exactly Revan. We are catching up at a very slow pace Today most people can afford a 512, but currently a 1Mbps is too expensive for the average person. Personally I have a 384 at home, and my bf has a 512 (I'm in my bf's house these days and I haven't noticed any difference). Most greeks are on pstn still and web designers (I consider myself more a web designer than a coder, and this is why I never release styles but only hacks. I may sell styles later though ) have to restrain themselves so that we don't waste bandwidth. It sucks, really

Where I live your options are:

5mbits download / 256kbps upload - cable - $35 - $40 a month
10mbs download / 512kbps upload - cable - $55 - $65 a month
512kbps / 128kbps - dsl - $25 a month

Of course I'm stuck on a dial-up island connecting at 12kbps!

$66. Might not sound cheap to you, but thats just because the NOK <=> USD exchange rate is bollocks atm. It's actually pretty cheap when your used to the Norwegian echonomy.

I see you've been quite busy with the new cat site Michelle. Looks nice, did you create all the images yourself?

Where I live, a 384 is about 40-50 euros! However the prices are starting to go down, there was an offer at christmas for E100, six months ADSL 384 (I got that one )

@Gary: A good friend of mine created the "funny" ones, such as the kitties in the menu and the logo. In MS paint!! (I changed them a little in illustrator though) Isn't she talented? I created the other ones myself (eg, forum status icons etc).
