Now that RADSL is on the cards I'm well within
the
distance limit. However, being on a rural exchenge dear knows how
long I'm
gonna have to wait for availability.
I've tried the 24/7 ISDN thing and been kicked
off
two ISPs. I think if you pay Demon 40 quid a months though you can
have
true always on ISDN.
Satellite does seem a bit flakey still
although
StarSpeeder is much better than EON ever was.

Satellite Internet (Mark ?)
doesn't sound too impressive....i still remember what
happened to
EuropeOnline.....
nice that they give a months
subscription, but I do hate a flaky
ISP,,,,
I've been told that
BT
do a freephone service now to their ISP arm
using ISDN.
I dumped
HomeHighway about 6-8months ago, in preperation for ADSL...
now I
know
we are not getting adsl, no cable service, so i'm left
with two
choices...
ISDN (which used to cost me a fortune, if I wanted 128k)
or
Satellite
service, which is still a nightmare as it's only fast on the
downwards band.
I've been told by the colleague at work that he
runs his ISDN2e
service in bonded mode via a router on a permanent
connection basis.
Now I know we've had the Terms and Conditions
debate
before....I
wonder where we now stand, as the goalposts seem to move on
a
daily
basis....
oh well,,,,teach me to live in the sticks won't
it....

He
hasn't had service for a while
now although there has been talk of a
free
months sub for the hassle.
