well my avatar host frequently does this.. most probably it's down again. who am i to complain.. it's free hosting.
i know dsl is already affordable here. but again pinas is just a tiny speck of the market.
3Mbps is quite common in the US for home use. on the average, they offer 768kbps as the lowest plan.
Intel's embedded video chip is for the mainstream segment. when you say mainstream.. it's akin to majority ergo.. largest slice.
True, people here in pinas might have the same train of thought as you... download, burn, sell.. but majority don't do that (here or abroad).
