Thanks. That's going to have to wait a while then. Way too big to fit
down the 2G pipeline I'm currently using to connect to the Internet.

Now if the local telecomm provider (read: government enforced monopoly)
would just do their jobs and fix our landline....

I'm curious here. Where are you hailing from? Which country imposes such
horrible hardship on its citizens?

FWIW Verizon is *planning* on shutting down 2G/CDMA service in December*!

2G has evolved over time a from whopping 9.6 to 236.8 kbps on the download
side! Can you run wget on your phone?

Oh you meant 2G as in phone tech... not as in 2GB! No wonder I was confused.

The 2000s want their flip-phone back!

*Note to Self: There goes the ol' Samsung flip-phone!
