Well, for my part, I have web sites etc with my present ISP so changing would be rather a lot of work (in relation to the amount of downloading I do) and, alas, my OS isn't covered by their broadband (again, too much stuff on the PC to transfer over to a new one and far too much work involved plus half the stuff wouldn't work with XP or Vista so that's loads of new programs to buy as well as a new PC). If I had that much spare cash I would be getting a nice new luteback made.
