I'm sticking to dialup for the moment. It's real slow, but it happens to be cheap. There are cheap broadband options in the UK, but most of them are of very restricted bandwidth (128-256k) or have traffic caps, such as 10Gb a month. No way is that worth the price. The Germans, for instance, can get unresricted 2Mb DSL for the same price as I could get 512k cable or capped 1Mb DSL. Why should I put up with that?
Until things change, I'm going to clog up BT's phone lines leeching all day like a nutter until they put a hour restriction on Surftime - which they will, by 1st November this year. If they don't like it, they can get off their arses and add DSL to my country (BT label everything north of Yorkshire as a "rural" area) or cable companies can give better prices. I mean, there are only 3 million people living within 20km of Glasgow - more than the population of Leeds - so why should BT bother...? Grrr!
