[ILUG] [OT] Genesis Europe, dirt cheap Internet access..

At the start of january, a 2meg line would have set you back anything from
75,000 to 100,000.  Right now its about 40,000.  Do some maths, and by
november youre looking at damn cheap lines. By that stage, this Genesis
crowd might just be able to pull it off...

Regards,
 Niall

45Mbit line is going to cost even if it's not permanent, something there
