Not really... I divide my time between two countries. My UK internet is fine. My Portuguese internet died when the modem objected to being switched off and on frequently due to power cuts caused by spring storms. We're due a new modem but PT, the providers, are a pain and I'm not holding my breath. Besides, the new modem definitley won't arrive while I'm not there.*g* So it will, for a while, depend where I am as to whether I'm online or not!! Fictionwriter is crossing all her fingers and toes as I'm her beta - and she'll be in Portugal with me in September. We can, however, get other internet access locally if essential for things like posting completed fic!!
