Hi
Just to throw more confusion into the pot. I wouldn't have thought it =
is such a big issue. Even Bulldog provide us with a service, it is BT =
that had to provide the line up to the house. So if we were to take up =
with BT, they'd come and inspect or install a new line within 7 days, =
but as we were contractually obliged to continue with Bulldog when we =
moved here, we had to wait 28 days. I'd go with what was NTL now Virgin =
if I could simply because the infrastructure is new and more capable of =
taking data transmissions. ADSL services are just tacking on an old =
flaky network that was never designed for that purpose. But alas, we =
all don't have the choice. There's a skill in choosing an Internet =
Service Provider and I've made some blunders. BT's support is better =
but they charge more. You have to ask how critical is the support and =
how critical is the finance. Take a second line here, for example, =
Bulldog will fit one for =A399.99 and will take up to 28 days as they =
have to pass the request on to BT to undertake the work. For the same =
service direct from BT and cut out the middle man it's =A3124.99. Then =
the subsequent line rental from BT, if paid by Direct Debit, is =A311.00 =
a month, whereas, Bulldog charge =A310.50 a month. There's also other =
differences relating to the duration of the contract etc.. And this =
just the phone line to carry the ADSL service.

useful site BTW.
Cheers for now,
