Nice to have the choice - we need to get at least another 130 folks
signed up before BT will even think about upgrading our little rural
exchange. The handful of biggish businesses locally are probably on
satellite links so they won't swell the local demand.

Why are you leaving Freeserve, David?
I know they aren't the cheapest, but I found the conversion to BB a doddle
and I haven't had a single hiccup with any part of the service. Very fast,
very efficient.

I doubt it, most satellite links are too slow.

Does anyone know which ISPs allow you to run your own web server on
broadband? I'm told BT don't allow this.

I am with BT and have no probs at all.

I though it must just be me but now there are two of us. :-)


BT :-)) I have had my Direct Debit reduced by BT and had a refund of just
over £200 for overpayment :-))))))))

That sounds interesting Mike, how come?


Sorry to say it, but as far as I am concerned, BT have the edge on all
services. Land Line, Mobile AND computer links :-))


Yep, with you on that, although it did miff me a bit when they sold off BT
Cellnet to O2.

Hum, 2Mbps slow? The backup link for the local wireless BB network has
that. Ping times will be high (it's along way up and down to a bird)
so no good for online gaming but a company wants their employees to
work not play games... Cost on the other hand might more of a
problem...
