[QUOTE="jimbo, post: 10641, member: 175309"] For BT to talk about throwing people off their service is very funny. Considering their roll-out programme is running slightly faster than snail pace and the fact that ADSL running over copper is limited by the distance customers reside in relation to the nearest exchange, I would have thought they needed all the help they can get. Not so long ago it was so pricey non-commercial customers couldn't afford it so in order to open the door to the public they had to offer it at a much lower cost. I became interested in it but because I live 5.7km from the exchange I am out of range. You need to be within 5.5km. So I had to have a cable connection with Telewest but I'm quite happy with it. Previously I had BT Anytime except it wasn't 'Anytime' ...it became 16 hours in any 24 and, as always, the connection was dropped after 2 hours. I'm cynical about this because I can't see why we can't compare with countries like Sweden where a 10mb connection costs £30 a month. Jimbo :mad: [/QUOTE]
