I have had no personal experience with it myself.
If you can get DSL or cable modem service,
they would be better than DirecPC from
everything I can see. There is not much
talk about DirecPC anymore around here
because cable modem service is the top
choice for broadband access. In the UK,
however, things may be different. You
have to look at the cost/performance of
each provider. BTW, look at ALL the
costs - some may be hidden.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
Bob
