difference which half and how old you are. You may have no experience at all
of DSL in the UK. Besides, DSL is totally irrelevant.
I seriously

If you think in terms of DSL in this context, then you have encapsulated the
problem, and no wonder there are problems. It is the 21st Century now, not

unreliable. We have the answer.
