Hi Jim, Personally, I'll never go with Wanadoo again. After paying 22 pounds per month for the larger 2 gig download rate, and 19 pounds per month for what I supposed was going to be 2 MB kbps of download speed, I found my connection really very slow. On checking I found that my download speed was more like 750 kbps per sec. I called Wanadoo and was told that BT in my area did not have the infrastructure to enable my 2 mb kbps rate. Fine, I suggested, that's understandable, so what about some kind of rebate on my 19 pounds per month? After all, I agreed to pay for 2 mb kbps, which I'm not getting, albeit due to BT and the lack of modern infrastructure, but could we not come to some kind of agreement? . Tough, says wanadoo, you read the small print when you signed up, so ... too bad. Peter From beautiful Helensburgh on the Firth of Clyde.
