Alex,

I had to wait 4 years before the "maybe next year" came true. In the mean time I ran satellite. This year everything became available, including cable. I think it was the competition between the phone and cable companies that finally pushed them both to offer broadband a quarter mile further up the road.

Go on then, rub it in ...

It's not an excuse I need - it's a telephone company that doesn't continue to behave like the old-style monopoly it was for so long. They *might* provide broadband in my exchange some time this year or next - but even when they do, they *think* I'm too far from the exchange - physically it's about 400 yards from my house, but they reckon the cabling is over 6 miles. Sigh.

I'm not holding my breath for the availability of broadband.
