Gena, I think I understand what the prices mean in your message, (below) but they are rather mucked up by the equals sign intrusion and some numbers which shouldn't be there. Can I suggest that until this peculiar problem is sorted that we resort to spelling out prices to avoid such unclearness? From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Georgina Joyce Hi Just to throw more confusion into the pot. I wouldn't have thought it =3D is such a big issue. Even Bulldog provide us with a service, it is BT =3D that had to provide the line up to the house. So if we were to take up =3D with BT, they'd come and inspect or install a new line within 7 days, =3D but as we were contractually obliged to continue with Bulldog when we =3D moved here, we had to wait 28 days. I'd go with what was NTL now Virgin =3D if I could simply because the infrastructure is new and more capable of =3D taking data transmissions. ADSL services are just tacking on an old =3D flaky network that was never designed for that purpose. But alas, we =3D all don't have the choice. There's a skill in choosing an Internet =3D Service Provider and I've made some blunders. BT's support is better =3D but they charge more. You have to ask how critical is the support and =3D how critical is the finance. Take a second line here, for example, =3D Bulldog will fit one for =3DA399.99 and will take up to 28 days as they =3D have to pass the request on to BT to undertake the work. For the same =3D service direct from BT and cut out the middle man it's =3DA3124.99. Then =3D the subsequent line rental from BT, if paid by Direct Debit, is =3DA311.00 =3D a month, whereas, Bulldog charge =3DA310.50 a month. There's also other =3D differences relating to the duration of the contract etc.. And this =3D just the phone line to carry the ADSL service.
