That "Blather" has to do with how fast they THINK they are versus how fast
they REALLY are ! Oh BOYY ! I got a 40,000 KILOBIT connection NOW ! IM in
the BIG TIME ! I'll just run 40 or 50 slots ! This is the same crap the
satellite boys peddle when they are trying to sell you on their service .
that BIG 5,000 KILOBIT upload speed ! WOW. It's slower than a modem, for
chrissake ! But they love the old kilobit shell game ! the suckers buy in en
