Fedora 18 Media by Mail
Remove "Slow Internet"
(Getting stick from our Indian Volunteers re. this)

Same lines as above:
Online Vendors should link to:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/OnlineVendors

Local Vendors should link to:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/LocalVendors


Mea Culpa,
never saw the big blue buttons underneath the Fedora 18 Media by Mail paragraph.

Still need the "Slow Internet gone", and maybe remove the anchor from here
as well as via the Fedora Free Media program.

It may then bring the lower Purchase Fedora Media from a Vendor into sharper focus.

frankly3d is this ticket still up to date? Don't know why we shouldn't mention if someone has a slow Internet connection.

Personally, I agree, slow internet is a problem.

But I'll c&p what is seen on the private freemedia list:
I think people are really not serious when they request media, they are
driven here from the download page under section "Slow Internet? No
Internet?" which makes them believe they indeed have a slow connection and
then "Where to get the media" on the next (freemedia) page or maybe just
because the option is there. I think its human tendency to feel "why take
effort when it can be availed for free".

Just my thoughts and perhaps these are applicable only to requests from
India.

Thanks
