Slow down- come to Dunoon…

Apparently my home town of Dunoon officially has one of the slowest broadband speeds in the UK.

Kind of makes you proud.

Of course it is not that long ago that we were all used to dial up speeds (remember that annoying connection noise?)- but these days 1.9 meg is pretty slow. I am currently getting about 54 KB/sec.

But I am just back from a night in Glasgow, where Michaela and I went to see Jools Holland (Sorry- not really my cup of tea, talented though the band were) and then we spent a day shopping in the city.

It was lovely to walk a city with my wife, but it was so busy. Cars everywhere, fighting for a few inches of space, and to be a few seconds faster away from the lights.

So it was good to get the ferry over to the place where even cyber space has been slowed down.

Come and see- it is good for the soul…

  1. We noticed a big INCREASE in broadband speed coming to Dunoon from Gloucester. We struggled to get 1Mb/s down there, and get about 5Mb/s up here.

    So many other factors involved, bandwidth sharing etc. etc. Living near a nuclear submarine base is rumoured to improve things…
