The future is now!

I believe this speaks for itself:

The prospect of moving from an Internet connection via a standard telephone line to broadband, resulting in faster networking, has long been considered the future of telecommunications.

It may help explain the Daily Cal's website woes, actually, if they're still on dial-up.

Comments:

Websites aren't hosted with a particular connection speed or type (e.g., dial-up or cable). They're hosted by servers, which are big boxes of data storage. The connection speed only pertains to the user who views the website through a browser.

Loser.

Presumably, the server has to be connected to a network somehow. Also, the DC folks probably have to contact the server somehow.
