# Yay!
Our ADSL line was switched on today. This is the moment that South African geeks wait for when moving overseas. So far I've racked up over 5 Mb/s on my ethernet modem, without doing any tweaking. Take that, Telkom!
It's not without frustration though - I got the ethernet modem as a freebie, I'd shelled out for a wireless router/modem for normal use. That's being a bit more niggly - slower speeds and constantly up/down. I'll have to fiddle some more to get that sorted, but at least I know what my connection's capable of. Yay!
After nearly 3 months in the dial-up wilderness, I have that weird guilty feeling about being online for extended stretches of time, like I should be disconnecting or something. I'm sure that'll pass soon.
Did I mention... yay!
