Broadband Changed My Life

by Shaun

Dear Babs

Just a quickie to let you know how things are working out with Broadband. We've been together five or six years now and I have to say I don't know what I'd do without it.

As you know from our previous correspondence, before Broadband came along I was feeling isolated, alone (PLEASE don't mention Teletext!). The hours spent trailing round supermarkets for food; even to book a holiday meant traipsing to a 'travel agent'. And then you introduced me to Broadband...

No more dial-up! No more hanging around for hours on the off chance you'll get through and then, just when you thought you'd made a connection, everything crashing. As you know, that feeling of being let down is unbearable.

Of course, broadband - like all of us - has faults too. Between you and me, I have to say that, at times, it's a little s..l..o..w. Nothing too much to worry about, and I know I've got to be more patient, but sometimes you get a 'need for speed', if you know what I mean. Oh, and a little extra bandwith wouldn't go a miss - but then size isn't everything. (I must confess that my thoughts have sometimes wandered to Next Generation Superfast Fibre Based Broadband - but it's nothing a five minute Google won't cure.)

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Broadband is there for me. Now there's not a lot in life you can say that about is there?

Anyway, must dash - got movies to download, iPlayer to play, clothes to buy and twitters to tweat (not to mention work to do!!)

Hugs, Shaun
