Who's This 'OctaneBoy?'
- OctaneBoy
- I know the time. I get it. I'm tightly wound, but know when to kick off the shoes. I pay attention. I observe everything. I know what I'm doing and know how it works. I crave the authentic, the genuine and the classic, and the noise, jive and bullshit of this era will find no purchase on my watch. And I can flat drive anything.

You might want to hold on to comcast for a bit yet.
2. Causes of the Accident
The direct cause of the accident is that the pipe thinning due to erosion and corrosion was overlooked for many years because the pipe in question was mistakenly missing from the inspection list. Further investigations revealed that the root causes of the accident were the poor maintenance management and insufficient quality assurance systems of KEPCO, with the background of the KEPCO’s declined safety culture.

Sure I can download 120 movies every minute, but wait till they all explode in your face due to KEPCO's declined safety culture.
Then you'll be sorry you dumped the DSL....
Back here in the states our power companies had a plan for the internet that involved using the exisiting power grid. No need for Ethernet cables, the data would ride on the back of your AC power at blazing speeds.
Not sure why that didn't fly. It'd be worth looking up.
