Just a quick little post. Everyone is at home as today is the first day of a Saudi weekend!Trish has visited the doctor this morning as her recovery from the virus appears to be slow. She is now on a couple of tablets (one of which is Panadol) to help her along.
The footy will begin live on TV here in 30 minutes or so.
I still cannot get over the amazing internet here at KAUST. During a recent update my Download Program was registering the attached pic.
The "Transfer Rate" I get at home is around .8 MB/sec (7000 speed). Here it is up to 8.5MB/sec (85,000). It is absolutely mind blowing!
A good ADSL2+ connection close to the exchange at home would give you a speed of around 20,000. The maximum available to us at many areas of Bellvista is 8000 or an ADSL1 rate.
