Lukas' post makes me want to move to Switzerland if only to get decent broadband.

Not so much joy here in Salt Lake City. Qwest DSL promises 1.5 kbps but it has been more like 900kbs. I usually submit my FTP request using iPTF (a tool developed by Bryan Dietz) overnight and it is usually complete in the morning. So, time is mostly irrelevant unless it is an emergency.
I want fiber!......

Hello List!

If your order for IBM i were to be available for electronic download:

1. what kind of connectivity do you have ( T1, broadband, .....)?
2. what download time would you expect to download the IBM i operating
system?
3. would you use ftp, download director, or either, to download?

(I know this question is redundant for some list participants, but feel
free to reply anyway) I'd like to see if I can make a table of
connectivity types versus time expectations.
