Am I dc'd ?

Phew... Spent the beginning of this month on Ruby trying (pretty hard) at my ruby shell project. Then came Deepavali (the festival of lights and pollution). Had a tough time trying to get things right with the Tata Indicom WLL internet service representatives, to get back my broken internet connection with not much luck. Now, I'm back online through dialup internet (BSNL netone, that is). I'm pretty amazed at the speed - 5.5 KB/sec on average... great for a dialup connection, while the earlier Tata Indicom WLL connection gave me an average of 4 KB/sec, though they claim it to provide bandwidth of 115 kbps (unlike 56 kbps on dialup)!

Seems like I'd rather switch permanently on a dialup connection now, till I find something better.
