Personally I would never recommend anyone going with BT for ADSL unless they�re made of money. BT charge �29.99 (or �27.99 without any services such as email or webspace etc) a month when there are plenty of other ISPs who charge much less for the same service. PlusNet�s ADSL HomeSurf, for example, is only �18.99 for a better overall package. And if you are happy with less bandwidth (always on is for some people the key benefit of broadband, after all), then there are now packages that start at only �14.99 (PlusNet) or �15.99 (Tiscali). And there�s even a package that has a minimum monthly cost of only �11.75/month from Metronet with an additional fee based on how much data you transfer.
These are only some examples � the key thing to realise is that the service is generally EXACTLY THE SAME OR BETTER (when you're comparing 512k services, that is), but for a lot less money. A couple of places to check out for comparative costs are: http://www.adslguide.org.uk/isps/packagelist.asp http://www.web-user.co.uk/broadband Both of these places list Broadband packages from a wide range of ISPs � don�t pay more than you have to!

The regular BT ADSL service works just fine under OS 9.2.2 and 10.3 with the supplied USB modem and with a wireless router, because of the obvious speed benefits it might be worth considering changing over if AOL don't want your money (despite having to change e-mail addresses which I know can be a pain) -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
