Hi all

I have been quite a happy Blueyonder and mostly happy VM Customer for ni on 10 years. We have a new flat to move into in about 4 weeks, but the new area doesn't support VM cable yet, but do offer a limited service through their analogue setup through a BT line. My Current setup are cable 20meg BB, TV L and Telewest phone line.

What they can offer from what I read, are Internet up to 8meg and a very basic TV and phone package. All through the telephone line.

Just wondering what are the pro's and cons of this and what are the alternatives. Like would the phone be out of commission when the Internet is on?

I have no real need for 20meg these days,but upto 8-10 meg unlimited would be of advantage. I have no real knowledge of other service providers, so any info would be appreciated.

I do online game a great deal. Downloading isn't such an issue. The new flat does though have a socket for Satellite TV.
Just shows you, I have been so used to cable for so long I am well out of touch.
