# Indeed...
when i get it, much wooing and yaying is in order.

Oh, and by the way, BT are very unwoo and nonyay because 1) it took 10 engineers to sort out or phone and in the end they had to dig up the whole road (about half a mile stretch) and 2) i can't get ADSL yet, they complain it costs them £200,000 to enable an exchange :( so all i can get is BT 'HomeHighway' (their odd name for ISDN).

Very unwoo, and very unwoo and nonyay.

# i had highway
before i got the adsl (which is the single greatest achievement of man so far)

compared to a 56k modem, isdn is like the internet on speed

# the big problem with homehighway is
if you then have you exchange enabled and want to switch to ADSL, there is a massive headache, and usually a big wait, as they convert your ISND line back to a normal PSTN (can't remember what it stands for) and then connect you up to your DSL connection, you could be off the web a day most likely a week, it's an arse, many tales of woe.
