Hi Jerry!

You think that's cool???
Here in the Netherlands every one has cable-TV and recently
a company named ENECO has set-up a system with
which you can surf the internet via your TV coax-cable.

It's ten times faster than ISDN and beauty part is, there no extra costs:
you pay for the access, but you don't have any extra costs on your phone
bill.

It doesn't matter if you're spending 0 hours or 24 hours 7 days a week on
internet,
cuz the costs are the SAME!!!

Is this heaven or what???

Greetings,
Tim
