It all really depends on your geographical location what is readily availably for you. If you're in a cabled area then I would recommend a cable modem, although at present, the general consensus that I've heard from users is that telewest is better than ntl, but you dont really get a choice in that matter, its one or the other.
Not sure about the latest state of ADSL, whether or not they've managed to implement the distance increase, but I'm sure BT's fun and informative(!) site should give the relevant information, although Nildram seem to be offering good deals on ADSL as far as I remember.

Now i think it would be time for me to upgrade my internet connection as well to use the beast's full potential : i still have a 56k modem. I live in Glasgow - what do you think would be fastest/most readily available, cable or ADSL ? Do you also have an idea about prices/best providers ? (and yes, i remember there was a discussion on this mailing list on a similar subject, but i think it was more oriented towards the northern regions) Thanks, Elise **************************************************************************** ******* This email and any accompanying files are confidential.
