Jim,
Fortunately I didn't have any problem when transferring my any time account 
to broadband. I filled in the form online and was up and running within two 
days even though they said to allow ten days for my phone line to be 
activated. I can honestly say I have never had any problems with Wannadoo 
broadband.

Iain.

Jim,

Just be very clear with Wanadoo that you want to close your dialup account
when you make the change. I had a few problems with the bureaucracy trying
to make the change. The problem is that you may end up paying by different
methods for the services, and never the twain will meet.

As for the b5roadband connection, it's very good if you're in an area where
the phone lines can handle it. That is something you can check on Wanadoo's
web-site.

You get a kit with the broadband modem, some filters to keep your voice
calls and Internet operating in parallel without interference, a printed
manual and a CD with the connection software.

I found it quite easy to get going, and have hardly ever had a connection
problem. Occasionally, like today, I'll have to try twice to get on, but
that doesn't kill anyone.

Wanadoo will soon become Orange,, as you may know.

Hope it goes well.
Vince.
