I wonder how good your internet connection is in your:
1) staff-room
2) class-room
3) bed-room
If you live on a compound, do you have a wireless connection? What sort of download rate do you get? |

| One thing I can tell you is that my internet connection is super-fast in my utility room. I like to log on to Dave's while waiting for the spin cycle to finish. |

I have you one-upped...
My washing machines are wired, and they send me an email when the cycles finish! |

Ahh, but the question is, how good is the internet connection to your machines?
Inquiring minds want to know. |

| I use Comfort "Arabian Jasmine" when I can find it - seems to be a rather popular brand. Its influence on connection speed depends on whether or not I keep my whites separate from my coloureds, as the Seff Efrikens used to say... |

Not sure the explanation would stand up in a court of law.
Replying to the original question 200-400Kbs at home, 100Kbs- 2Mbs depending on the time at the staffroom, and ditto for the classroom (same wifi connection as the desktop LAN don't work).
These figures are probably atypically good for Saudi (or even for our uni as the married couples are complaining about the lousy quality of the DSL in their block -- must be all the extra rooms that attenuate the signal :) ) and you may well find yourself with SR3 an hour dial up at home, nothing in the classroom, and limited staffroom access. |

King Cobra 007 has a Satellite internet connection and is outside the control of SA, SFB, MI6, and CIA.
BTW, King Cobra 007 does not live in a compound, he lives in a tent somewhere in the desert of SA.
