When DSL first became available in my area I had been waiting for so long that I signed up with the first company that could offer it. I was absolutely thrilled! Instead of waiting forever for each page to load, they were there almost instantly. I was still only connecting at 512kbps but compared to dial up, it was fantastic. As time progressed however, I found out that other people in my area were connecting at up to 2mbps. I contacted my DSL service provider and they gave some excuse that didn’t really explain why. I later found out that regardless of the speed available on the line, my connection was capped at 512kbps. After becoming increasingly jealous of my neighbours I started to look for other service providers. When my current contract was about to expire, my telephone company contacted me to inform me that they were launching a very cheap DSL service and asked if I would be interested.
