Carrier pigeons have won the race against rural broadband in Britain. They delivered pen drives more quickly than a computer, using rural broadband, was able to send a video.

Ten pigeons carrying USB keys were released from a Yorkshire farm Thursday. They reached their destination in Skegness, 120 miles (192 km) away, within an hour and a quarter.

Meanwhile, a five-minute video download which was started at the moment of the birds' release had only managed to upload 24 percent of a 300 MB file within that time.

Isn't it really funny?

That is really funny but old way of delivering letters in olden days...previously i started a post on broadband speed..and Britian is defientely not in the list ..which itself proves that UK is lacking broadband speed...Funny part is a pigeon has dominated the speed.. :silly: :)

So i think in India we can start the old method as I think
OLD IS GOLD is quiet applicable..

Deepti thanks for the song..wonderful song... :P :)
