Yeah, but I've got it.

You don't have to buy a modem, I purchased a seperate FANTASTIC one for £20! The modem included a microfilter and the rest of the prices are satisfactory.

Let me add to that if you will

They have to drill a cable into your house
They currently have a 1gig cap
it is faster, but only when other people on your exchange arnt doing the same as you ie using kazaa , the moment they do , ur connection slows.

The company is going bankrupt
The upload speed is only 1/4 of the download thats 128 kbps (adsl is 256) this is essential for games online.



anything esle to add.
