Look at it this way: if you really need openoffice updated, then
update it. But saying that Fedora *requires* broadband because only
then can you have continuous updates is nonsense. What about everyone
else in the world? *Of course* it's good to have updates, and
everybody who can get them should, but is it really so important that
without them one would rather not even boot Fedora/whatever?

We're talking about people who claim they can't get updates.

That's an opinion you get to have.
