Get back on your feets!

Where do you get your mail-connectivity from? You say your slowest line is
a worldblaser. Let's assume you've got a noisy line, and you have a
throughput of approx 500bps. On a long-distance-call this would result in
approx 0.23DM / (50(bytes/sec) * 180sec) == 0.23DM / 9KB
this is approx 0.025DM per KB.
OK, you have to add the money for your providor. Why don't you get your
mail-connectivity from sub.org? That would result in approx 0.055DM per
KB. But there's still a difference of ca 1.1DM per KB. Where does this come
from?
