Personally, I'm hooked on a $20 p.m. flat rate (200 hours, exceeded) that includes multiple URL hosting.

I have just put in an old D-Link DE-809TP 10MBps that matches the free D- Link 302G modem well, but which Tcom wanted $160 for (the 504G combo unit; $250 for wireless). 33kbps download is cool, but does not require a 100MBps router - overkill, for plain net, file & print sharing. My guess is that Rex's warning applies to the current Tcom network 'hack' scare relating to mailboxes & PINs. Which means all accounts & connections are vulnerable, not just the 504G? > anyway i guess you can use msie to fix it, i'd just be getting grumpy > with telecom for the sake of letting them know it is not good enough. ok & ok > cheers - Rik
