# 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.
