Rubik's cube - first solve

I just completed my Rubik's cube for the first time without any hints. I wasn't timing it, but I'd guess 10-15 minutes total.

Fiber fail? Hong Kong booms as Verizon retrenches

Fiber fail? Hong Kong booms as Verizon retrenches

FTA: "Hong Kong Broadband Network announced the initial results of its "Awesome Speed. For Everyone." sales, which offer a symmetric 100Mbps fiber connection for the hefty price of US$13 a month."

I don't even need to read the rest of the article..I'd gladly pay my current $42 a month for a full symmetric 100Mbps connection, but instead for my $42 I get the 'cheapest' DSL connection from AT&T with maybe a 1.5Mbps/384kbps...maybe, at best. So, I pay 4 times as much for 1/66 of the connection.
