Amazingly, even after their explanation of d/l speeds i can saturate my own line at 100 - 120kbps, so, i think my area may well be able to cope with the speeds they are promising.
So far i've had 2 issues with my account, 1 is the broadband. This one's sorting itself.
The other was mobile call barring that didn't take effect until the day after it was meant to work, thus resulting in me ending up with an extra quid on my bill. Nothing to worry about though
I could write a few howto's if you'd like ? Not sure how good a quality they'd be, but hey
(Let me eat my pizza first though... hehe)
Oh, and a revolutionary way to kill hte ping monster... Run around with wire cutters to other "neighbours" houses...
