It's odd, I can load webpages and post without issue, but do anything that involves streaming data, it slows down to Lenny from Of Mice and Men levels.

As for arrows, I always thought any city worth it's salt should have a shitload of ballistas. Nothing sends quite an elegant "up yours" as getting impaled by a 2 meter long shaft of hardwood and hatred.

Hmm, they probably don't want you to torrent the entire Library of Congress on their broadband. 

I imagine they do, but I also imagine Skyrim's siege weapons are underdeveloped (at least compared to Cyrodiil), for several reasons:

-Skyrim has less walled cities than Cyrodiil
-The old mentality of "shouting down walls" put catapults on the backburner of Nordic generals
-Skyrim used to rely on the legion for defence, so local "military industry" might be dependent on Imperial City aid
-Mountainous terrains, narrow roadways and heavy snowfall during winter make transporting these things very difficult
