That's good to hear.

Not that great when you consider the cap/lousy mail servers etc, coupled with the fact that DSL is coming down in price-Pipex (for example) off a 1 meg (un capped) service for £33.00-now that's good.

How come Telewest have already finished theirs then (2 weeks ahead of schedule)?
