Anyone can get ADSL upto 14 Mbps using my patented technology. if your interested please visit www.italia-wifi.com and we will get you the connetion you need or your money back! telecom and fastweb offer very poor services that barely ever work over 2 Mbps we can assure you of a 6 Mbps line and for some people even 14 Mbps!!

You're living in the future and I’m still banging rocks together to make fire. You back in Austin yet? jools: I’ve learned that Telecom has supervisors in many large comunes and, if you’re lucky, that person might be more responsive than Telecom’s phone support. You never know until you try. Josh, was that a present? You’re living in the future and I’m still banging rocks together to make fire. You back in Austin yet?

I’m hoping the new Antinori development down the road will bring us into the 21st century, but then, it’s a kilometre down the road so that doesn’t mean we’ll necessarily see any improvements they get, right?! Now Josh, that’s just mean! Showing off with your iPhone while I’m tied to my desk on a 50kbs connection. Well, my community has maybe 6 houses in it – not sure Telecom Italia will be much moved.

I talked about doing that last summer but never got around to it. Might be worth a try if there are people in your area who are serious enough about it.

I called up the dreaded Telecom Italia to get an eta and they said 12 months. Our Italian neighbours said that’s the standard line when they want to say, “@#!* knows”. Then, another neighbour said he was getting a group together to bring wireless to our hamlet; if enough people signed up, they’d extend the service to our area… then nothing – the man’s disappeared… so frustrated I could cry!

After two years of dialup, I’ve gotten used to opening pages slowly one at a time, or taking an hour break if I have to download a lot of email. I’m excited to see how much faster I can work now that I won’t be limited by my bandwidth. I’m really hoping so!

It’s all they say and more, and I do hope you’ll be experiencing it soon :) I’m keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you; I had been waiting for 4 years and then suddenly, out of nowhere I got the good word about a month ago.
