JK2006 Yes there was a small story on both BBC and ITV news last night but we seem to be back on today.

Thank God for Internet Cafes (my idea 25 years ago: see 65 My Life So Far)!

I've noticed that internet cafes are disappearing in Oz at an alarming rate. I have to use them often while waiting for a new fast connection rate we have been promised.

It seems the great backpacker boom may be ending..the largest tourist group of all. Another case as one aspect affects so many others..it should mean air-fares go down as they viw for more business but insetad they seem to be going up on the popular routes.

I'm in Yorkshire but on a very slow broadband connection here...1 meg I believe

Join the club. 1.1Mbps is my usual here {near Howden}... occasional blips give me 1.2. That seems like breakneck speed to me, especially at my age.
