Down to a crawl

No, not me after a night out on the lash. My internet speed. The T-Mobile Web'n'Walk card has been repossessed. That'll teach me to freelance at VNU where I can be tracked down by PR people.

As reported on Absolute Gadget, Sky is running behind with its roll out of broadband. So my account that was supposed to go live on Wednesday is caught in a three-day BT backlog.

Given the choice of working on dial-up or doing something that didn't need an internet connection, I chose the latter. Switching from broadband to dial up is like moving back in with your parents – no-one wants to do it until it's absolutely necessary.
