DSL? What DSL??

I remember reading not long ago that Alaska has the slowest internet speeds in the United States. I bet that Kotzebue has the slowest internet in Alaska. For 256K Download Speed I pay $65 per month. I went over to speedtest.net and tested my connection. It said that my download speed was 231k (I think it must be a good day) but my upload speed was a measly rotten 61k...which brings me to the whole purpose of this post. I was TRYING to upload pics to post to the blog but I couldn't get anything to upload...so I give up. I will give it a try tomorrow at work where the internet is 5 times faster than the crap I buy from otz.net.

Wow, and we complain about OURS being slow. I'll try to remember that it could be worse. :)

I love your pictures. I've always wanted to visit Alaska. Keep posting, even if it does take forever!

Yikes! And to think we pay half as much for twice as fast - I'm so sorry, I do feel you pain!

Love your blog - I'm a "wannabe musher" from Iowa.

And I am obsessed with Alaska!

Keep feeding my habit...
