Thats the "or similar (i.e. fast)" bit! ;) :D

I used to until recently

Managed to persude my employer to pay for broadband so I can "work" from home... :)

Even if I was paying it'd be worth it...

Just got it, sorry under the affluence of incahol :D

[Bubble]

Used to be dial up, 'cos I couldn't get broadband, so I got ISDN. BT then decided I could get broadband:confused:

So, I've now got broadband:)

[marty_t3]

been with blueyonder broadband for 9 months now and i could never go back to a dial up..... I'm looking for a new house at the mo and i wouldn't even consider a house where i couldn't get broadband.

I'd recommend Blueyonder to anyone... their customer service is complete pants... but their connection is tremendous.... I only ever had a problem with it in the first few weeks. It's been working fine 24/7 since then.

[Nicely]

1MB NTL Cable. Luvely :D

[Boost Junkie]

MMMMMM 1Mb NTL cable nice, but keep yr eyes out for yr local electrcity company as the are trialing symetrical 2Mb lines running straight down yr mains suplly, very clean signal 2Mb up and down 40 quid a month.

Hands up who wants it.

Kp

[Nismo_Freak]

I prefere a uncapped cable modem for my post whoring abilities.

[Duff Man]

BY 1 meg, generally good but their mail is so screwed at the moment, havent been able to access it for 3 days and I'm awaiting important job related stuff :mad:

Gonna phone up and give them a rollocking! :D

ISDN is closer to dialup than broadband in terms of performance! Going from one to the other made a huge difference.

[shadowninja]

oh dear. looks like I can expect to see lots of heavy weight signatures and embedded images then :( (ie i wont be able to use this forum...)

[Nicely]

Just read that 6MB/s links are being tested using ADSL2 technology and availability up to 4 miles from an exchange. :eek:

Amen to this!

I'll be losing my Blueyonder broadband at the end of the month as I finish Uni :cry: and I have no way of paying the bill/rent until I get a job!

Although I'll be on dial up occasionally :mad: as I'll be moving back south for a few weeks, my priority is to get a job in the Midlands where broadband is available!

I'm well depressed about this and should entice me to get a job sooner than later:thumbs:

[Jezz_S13]

both. :) 600kbs cable NTL
needless to say dialup never get used, or hasn't since the BB went in. :)

549.9 kilobits per second according to bandwidthplace right now from my sofa. :D:D

[Zenki]

I live in the sticks so broadband is still a few months off for me:mad: I can't believe that in 2003 in the south of England, there are still areas where you can't get it :rolleyes:

[John D]

I think it's Bulldog that are currently offering 4mbit dsl to anyone (central london only I suspect) who wants to stump up about £80 a month. Not too shabby.

[AL]

Me at home, but have a nice ADSL line at work which I look after so do most DL here and then ferry stuff hom on CDs :rolleyes:

Wich I could get BB at home if just ta be able to use the phone and the net at the same time.....

[docwra]

I used to have a T2 at work, but now have to make do with 56k at home - it puts you right off the net, I tells yer :( :cry:
But Docwra! Get Broadband! I hear you cry!!
Yeah right - Im in "the sticks" and cant even get cable T.V.
In fact, I cant even get channel 5! :rolleyes:
How in the sticks?? Oh only a village of about 10,000 people 8 miles outside Cambridge and about 2 from the M11. Sticks my arse. :mad:

My mate lives in a small town in Cornwall, he had the same problem, but apparently if enough people on the exchange register their interest in broadband B.T will uprate the exchange to do broadband, I'm sure he said it was about 500 people, he's getting his in June

[Jezz_S13]

I think it's 200 people, the Gower is also having similar trouble, but that is spartenly populated.

Get satellite Laggy Laggy ISP Doc. :)
