      ADSL Coming my way, Yeeee Hah!!!

      My Telecoms provider, BT have announced that this exchange will be ADSL enabled on 11/06/2003 and they are now accepting orders.

      Chuffed too bits, no more 48hrs + for a movie off Kasaa, more like 3/6hrs

      Greets The Diplomat :-o)

      I am not joining BT, I am signing with Pipex. I will be buying my own filters for me fone and a 4 port rj45 ADSL Router.

      The Exchange is a 10 min walk from me 5 mins if you run, so somehow I don't think I will be getting a crap d/l rate!

      look out BT users for BT'S midband broadband comming soon its 128bit connection for people who live too far from an exchange hey its not great but its better than 56k at least and it will be not much more on the price than your current dialup

      and also look out for 1mbit BT asdl connections but for a price no doubt

      I'm on Blueyonder too and didnt think the 1MB was worth the extra. How much extra you paying for the 2MB ?

      A penny saved is ridiculous.

      Yeah I am currently paying £15.99 to AOL for 24/7. The cost with pipex is £23.44 for pipex solo*you provide your own equipment*, but they have made some changes to the pricing structure.

      http://www.xtreme.pipex.net/adsl/sales/solutions/solo/


      Before they would pay the line activation fee, but now they offer the following.

      For a limited time only, PIPEX will pay half of the £58.75 activation fee charged by BT, leaving you with only a £25.00 +VAT (£29.38 Inc VAT) set-up fee to pay. And if that wasn’t enough to convince you to join the UK’s leading independent broadband provider, PIPEX will even give you your third months ADSL service absolutely FREE! That represents a combined saving of over £52.00. I guess it's not a bad deal.

      I wasn't even aware a cost of £60 to activate your line, thats BT again greedy ********, all because they have the monopoly

      Someone like Richard Branson the worlds most successfull business man should do a hostile takeover of B.T. He has the Intelligence, money and every business venture has been successfull for him Watch out BT your days are numbered you greedy B******S. I hope a BT Rep reads this, for he can shove it where the sun don't shine

      I will keep browsing the ADSL forums for now, as I have got till June.


      live links acceptable IF they are not linking to warez sites or wares in this case the link is 110% illegal .... erm i mean legal lol lol >>>VIPER_1069<<< Behave Viper editing my posts lmao

      P.s. yer lucky it cost me best part of £280 to get installed ,activated and one months in advance and the modem ........ BUT and i say but it was well worth it the price per month has already dropped £10 from £39.99 to £28.99 it pays for itself in the long run used to pay £30 a month for 24/7 dialup access ... would never go back to 56k access now ever could not live without broadband >>>>>VIPER_1069<<<<

      The 128 bit MIDBAND ADSL on BT should be announced officially soon after trials have taken place will no doubt cost not much more than 56k access ... i spose this is the alternative to the what once was the popular 128 bit HOME HIGHWAY or 128bit ISDN lines they offered and oddly enuff still do offer and... operate !?

      not fantastic but its better than NO INTERNET at all lol

      One sad fact, is that for ISDN, your foneline is converted too digital, 3 peeps I know have it. Feel sorry for them, not really they were once mates F*****. They will need the digital line removed and the old analogue line put back. Gonna cost them a nice wack of doh

      See if they had waited like I have, they wouldn't have got themselves in the ****

      Do you not think that post was a little harsh? We like to keep the peace within the forum! Try and be a little a little more conservative if you don't mind!

      Thanxs
