Even the largest city (Buenos Aires) has no full broadband coverage; some areas are limited to dialup access only. ADSL is not always flat-rate; monthly transfer quotas apply. Cablemodem is usually flat (at least the ones I know of). In any case, speed isn't astonishing. One of my team workers lives in a rural area, near a city. But not close enough; he's out of range for an ADSL connection (signal is too weak); the cable company won't go that far; so his only alternative is a dial-up connection. In this case, that's just his only choice. But that does not prevent him from working well and using a CVSNT server. -- Gabriel Genellina Softlab SRL
