I am trying to stick to the french lists to get my french up to a passable standard but may resubscribe once I get a job! Really all I wanted to say was that we have arrived, have a flat and all is well. I have been putting off looking for a job for a while and am going to have to start looking in earnest now. Now that I have a proper internet connection that shouldn't take too long... Here it comes... 2 megabit connection, which has been giving me around 240-250 KBs, and that's bytes! No minimum signup period, no signup fee, for 27 euros per month. It took about 3 weeks to come online, but is here (from the old trusty MDK 9.2). All I can tell you is that France decided to keep it's telco publicly owned. They have also given them explicit instructions that they are not to enter into any anti-competitive pricing. Which means that they are heaps more expensive, and have had to offer ADSL access (space at the end offices) to other telcos for a pitance. The choice here is stunning. Sure I understand all the market arguments Telescum come up with... but Vive La Libert�! Lots of love, Keep geeking Anton ps We don't have much of a flat yet, but if I can get a job then you are all welcome to come and stay (maybe not all at once though :-)). pps. This is probably the best email to contact me on if anyone has the urge. --------------------- Original Message Ends -------------------- -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
