This makes me sick.

Even in an industrialized country such as the USA (although i a bit behind...) I'm sitting here on a 6 MB/s DSL connection which is the fastest I can get in the 2 Million people metropolitan area where I reside (downtown btw).

My mom who lives in a tiny village (1.500 inhabitatns) in central Europe has 25 MB/s as of now with the option to upgrade to 100 MB/s for 49 Euros a month. I'm paying the same for a 6 MB/s connection. I'm pissed.

Ireland has a maximum of 15mb country wide. Some companies offer 20mb (impossible to achieve), we have one of the highest costs of living in the world.. I feel your pain, especially being a photographer/web designer, disaster!
