Things arent looking too bright for us lowband users at the moment, espesialy us sub 56k'ers
As it is now, allmost all importand news related to Infiltration is droadcasted on the weekly radio, witch is definately cool in its own right, and it shouldent change IMO, BUT!, some of us just dont have the bandwith to get anything out of that, and allso, apparently some just dont have the skills needed in spoken english either. We need more text based info!
Now before any of u lamers (u know who u are) starts saying "u should shut up and get a real connection, dumb ass", let me set it in stone right here and now, its just not that easy.
I personally live in a country where one company's monopoly on all the phonelines is killing the free phonemarket, they themselves have no interest in offering broadband because they invested BIG in ISDN, and want that money back, and for various reasons, other companies just cant afford to put down all the cables needed to offer it, only 10% of the population has acces to broadband (and thats a population of only aprox 5 mill).
Things look like this in many europeean countries, and in other places, broadband is just too expensive to get, keep that in mind why thank u!
Next big thing i would like to dissmiss. Yes, the show is uploaded every week, but we are talking 45-50 meg files, and i just dont have the time to spend 8-9 houers each week downloading just to know whats going on, and as a result of constand drop outs and hickups, just staying online that long is a near imposibility (witch is allso why i still dont have 2.85 yet)
I gather that broadband is getting extremely common in the US by now, this is not the case in europe though..and lacking knoledge, i cant say this for sure, but i doubt its all that easy to get in asia too (feel free to step in azn folks), and even if youre a yank stuck with a 56k, u'll prolly be getting thouse 4-5.xx kbs i can only dream of, as a result of living in a country with some of the worlds crummiest phonelines, im deleriously happy to reatch 2.xx kbs.
Also, theres that little thing called the Atlantic that kinda gets in my way!
Fact is, if things doesent change in this department soon, i (and prolly others) will drop out and leave, i feel poorly treated just for living in the wrong country damnit, i feel excluded from the rest of the community, and all i did wrong was getting born in Denmark
Now i, like all of us wants the team to work on the mod, and not wasting time updating...hell yeah!, but maybe the team needs a news guy, just doing that!?
Thats all it would take, just some news guy letting us less fortunate back into the know.
Now this is a somewhat nasty rant..i know, but its an importand one none the less.
Below i have only included one option to vote on, and there went thought into that, no one needs a "Nah, all u lowboand scum can suck my nob" option, that would just get abused.
Cast youre vote if u feel u are drawing the shortest straw (be it poor connection options, or launguage barrier), and feel free to put sympathy votes in there too.
And if u dont like that, go make youre own damn thread!
