Hi Jim
I moved from Freeserve Anytime to Broadband Wanadoo about a year ago. My
monthly charge was around £17.00 a month. My wife found that surfing the
net had become much quicker and I felt that listening to radio had also
improved as I was not loosing the signal as often. I'm really not sure of
the arithmetic, but for £17.00 I was getting something like 750 mg of
bandwidth. Well, after about a year, I moved up to 2gb of bandwidth at a
monthly cost of £22.00. Unfortunately, neither myself or my wife have
noticed any improvement. I have been told by a list member that perhaps
my local exchange is not yet up to delivering 2gb. So I'm stuck on 2gb
and a higher charge for 12 months. As I said above, I'm not too sure of
the numbers that I'm quoting but it may well be worth finding out, before
signing up to the 2gb, if your local exchange can cope with this
bandwidth. I hope this is of help to you. Best wishes. Andy.

Hi List,
I'm about to bite the bullet and go for a broadband connection. I am
currently with wanadoo and will probably stay with them. However, what
are the do's and dont's re broadband, what pitfalls might I encounter,
all contributions welcome.
Many thanks in advance.
