Back online
Well it's not the same experience as driving a Ferrari 360 Spider (no fabulous roaring sound, no breeze blowing through my hair, no raw terror), but having the broadband back is very much like the difference between driving a moped and a seriously fast car.

And sorry about the radically off-topic Ferrari reference - it was such a seriously fun car to get my paws on! I've always been a bit silly about fast cars :-) It looks tiny in photographs but it is a serious monster.
