I sometimes work from home with ~5MB. Maybe I'm just a slow typer?

What do these imaginary workers of yours do? Ride their battle-chickens 
around WoW for a living?

For those who need/desire it let them pay or move! I'm not paying for 
evryone to have there own personal EMR machine or helicopter so fucked 
if I'm paying for them to download GoT to their fucking NAS.

Small villages died when the bank, the post office and the store closed 
because there are nonviable especially when you want the cheap prices 10 
miles away. But they really died when smoking was banned in pubs and 
everyone stayed home.
