      Benefit: FAST, stable, symmetrical, SLA, more expensive than most other options (but nowhere near as expensive as it used to be). Downside: installation costs, time to provisioning.

    I should probably just get over it, but I've realised how much daily frustration has been endured over the years because of our ageing infrastructure. Sure, living in a semi-rural location has it's advantages. Good broadband is not one of them.
