# I thought that was for limited time
Like the first 3 months are 18 squids then it goes back the the proper price. I may be wrong as there are so many offers about at the moment.

# no, this
month they changed all services to 1mbps, it's the allowances that vary. 17.99 is the cheapest option, comes with free connection, modem etc. only needs a BT line.

# I didn't want one with any limits though.
Between P2P and legal downloads, and B3ta of course, I get through way more than 1Gb /month...

# well the cheapest one gives you
2GB a month, the only vaguely cheap ones i can find with no capping is AO-bloody-L

# Try this:
www.adslguide.org.uk

Good site, lists all ISPs. I'm on DComms Europe: not their cheapest options, but £19.96/month, no port blocking, no limits, 512kbps. Seems to work OK.

# Wanadoo do not rate high on the sustained data rate scale
their service slows at peak times *allegedly*. There is a site that compares all the providers (I can't recall the site now due to alcohol). Some provide 512k connection but only achieve a fraction of this in real terms. It is worth checking before signing up.

# Careful
Don't mistake Kbit/sec for bytes/sec. I can't remember which is which (alcohol), but it's not the same.

576 whatevers is the standard downward flow rate on a 512 Kbit/sec connection.

# ah
you learn something new every day!
and i do realise the difference between bytes and kilobytes.

# I meant bits and bytes, or something.
Anyway, for further explanations I recommend www.pcadvisor.co.uk .It's far too late for me, I'm off... ciao all
