ahh but the secret is (here in the USA) if you have dialup as I do congress passed a law several years ago that if you have a dialup connection your ISP MUST provide you with at least a connection of 53k. My connection was hitting 22000 until I threw a fit with the ISP and now I connect at 53000 and I live WAY out in the country and have tried the sat routine and all else proxy servers modem boosters and that was the only thing that really worked

Unless u live in the UK.... Our telephone company BT are total crap, we\'ve only just got BB in our area and we live in a city.... they havn\'t even got BB in some cities yet... ;(  If you complain about anything they say that:

\'We are planning a exchange upgrade within the next ten years.\'

Which is pretty s**t...

hehheh :D So true.

That\'s why I\'m with NTL BB. Great prices and service (although they knocked it down from unlimited bandwidth to 1GB/day - but that\'s enough), and discounts for us student scum ;) \\o/

Here\'s another thing about BT: They provide talk21.com, which I use, in order to help the governments policy of everyone being able to have a free internet acount in the 21st century. But now they\'re changing it so you have to pay per month. OK, ok, there is still a version that is free, but it is total pants. Low storage and no other way to check it apart form loggining into their website every time. I hate web-based email.

P.S. Sorry for the slightly OT BT rant :evil:
