It is shared between 3 computers though :(

I'll be moving into student accommodation soon with crippled access (and whatever you actually can access is only at 512Kbps). I don't know how I'm gonna survive :(

France is doing 100mbs cable at the moment but don't be too jealous, their aftersales care is atrocious, at the moment my Mac Mail, MSN messenger and Gameranger can't access the net and they are claiming it's a mac problem not a server problem. Not made any easier by having to talk computers in French!
