Cheryl and Bj,
Thanks for your comments which have helped greatly. Apart from M$ stream
of hole-patching I don't think I have much to upload and download and
2Gb/month seems to average at 66Mb a day. My only problem is that there
are two other machines here now that use the net and linking them will be my
problem.
Still my ISP has a phone no to call to chat about the offer, so now armed
with some confirmation and some new knowledge I shall proceed to the next
stage. I suspect there will be a connection and hardware charge too!

I have 6 mps cable with no known restrictions on bandwidth. Considering
I've
downloaded Vista DVDs and the VPC for Whidbey bandwidth restrictions would
be a problem for me.

You'd need to compare like with like, but I pay UKP17.99 for a 300Kb/s
cable
connection with no formal bandwidth limit. NTL would up this to 1Mb/s for
the same money if I request it, but with a 3GB/month bandwidth limit, and
to
me a slower speed seems less restricting than having to keep downloads to
10MB a day, hmm just Windows updates could use that up!
NTL are said to be planning to upgrade all users to 10Mb/s over the next
this year and 20Mb/s next year and just base the charges on a bandwdth
limit. After all it's the bandwidth that costs them money and not the
speed. Apparently they can get up to 50Mb/s out of the existing
infrastructure if there's a demand for it. So ADSL may have the edge at
the
moment but cable could soon be a lot faster.
