Hmm...well, that's rubbish on two points:
1) I can't get 2mb? eek
2) 3.7km away? Erm, no. The exchange is 3 streets away. I can spit at it from my upstairs window.
Still, I realise that it's the old UKOnline network, but, let's face it, I feel a disturbance in downloading known as Traffic Shaping will be on the horizon. £10 for unlimited upto 16mb download - call me cynical, but there's no way. Roll on NTL with their price cuts. At the mo I have stable 4mb at a reasonable price. If they up me to 10, 16 or whatever, replace this 120 modem and cut my price then I'll stay with them.
