Hi Nancy,
Slow to reply - mesmerised by the footy in the East as I support
England and Ireland.
Hmmmmmm....fairly on the money as far as I am aware of UK broadband
service. I have a friend in Bath who has had similar problems with cable
- they are selling it before they are technically capable of delivering
it.
As for me - I live in the Peak District (sticks) close to the
National Park and neither DSL nor cable is available here yet - nor is
24/7 connection. We have to suffer with 56k or very expensive ISDN and
our connection is subject to a mandatory cutoff every two hours or
following ten minutes of inactivity.
The UK are trailing the US a tad in IP - a Grand Canyon sort of tad
(good film that).
Pete in the UK resigned to his IP fate
