Re: The Broadband Boom !

To short, they completely sugar coated over the SMALL PRINTs of each compamy.
Same with the french system sounds like the HOMECHOICE system thats over herebut with a 26 meg down load line for everything, so whats the upload speed but all that for £20 is dam good, but for that price must be a 24 month min contract .
