Yes, it sucks to be living in a 3rd world country, but there's
still flatrate and even xDSL to be found, unless you live in the
hicks.

But I don't mind the redundant quoting, I mind the notoriously HTML-
posting academics who feel they have to post half a MByte MS Word
.docs to mailing lists as a CFP, and mindlessly use vacation on
mailing list accounts ("Prof. Dr. WankWank is Out of Office,
and won't be able to reply to your email, Oh So Sorry"
-- there should be really email software easy enough even
Ph.D.s can use it)

(another 3rdworldie, who's still paying by the minute for modem dialup,
but hopefully not for much longer yet).
