ADSL in Norway
« on: May 31, 2003, 08:49:09 PM »
My brother recently moved to Norway and now he's considering getting ADSL. From what I have found out Telenor is the only ADSL provider in Norway?

I would like to know what kind of network hardware Telenor supplies as standard. Is it USB junk or an ethernet modem? Is it possible to get an ADSL connection without a modem? I.e. to buy your own at the local computer shop.

Thanks a lot for the info so far guys.

He's using RedHat as his OS on a Linuxbox and is located in Grimstad (smallish town east of Kristiansand). Cable is not an option because they don't have a cable connection (iirc).

@unit21:

Do you mind if I relay your email addy to him if that's needed?

@unit21:

Ta :-).

@NyQuil:

WIll check bluecom out too.

@Northway:

They live at Bakken (the street, not the neighourhood) which is pretty much out of town. But even if there is cable there I don't think they'd take it. Or is it possible to have only a cablemodem subscription minus the TV crap?
