It's wireless (~10meters) from DELL's Inspiron 9400 through three
steel-concrete walls (10-20 cm each) to WAP/router, then
twisted-pair(~50meters), and then fiber-glass to my ISP CISCO routers
(~5-6km from here), then backbone Internet channel to Finland(?)....

It costs ~USD20/month here now, 19GB/month, more than enough for me and all
my family members...

Using the same server, my speeds are:
Download: 127kbps
Upload:   153 kbps

and I pay on average  $400 - 500 per month for the service.  :-(
