OK ... So I see several points here.

1) Describe the service as it really is without the use of the word
"unmetered" as that has - rightly or wrongly - got the impression= goes
with it of unlimited. (What the hell else do you assume from unmetered?
Not metered. Not limited.)

2) If BT would rather have people on ADSL then great ... Get the fecker
out here and I'll pay =A330 for it.

3) Why is it taking the piss to use a service as it is implied it can be used? It is only fairly recently that the ISPs have started imposing
quotas.

Now, I don't download movies off the internet, I don't download music
but I do use IRC and MSN a lot and the only way they can be used is to
be connected. I don't want a permanent 2Mbit link - hell, the infamous
"D" channel on ISDN would be more than enough - but we can't get = access
to that!

Fine ... I'll pay =A340 or =A350 a month for always on ISDN then. My ISDN i= s
=A330 a month at the moment ... If we could get ADSL I would get it. I
can't so that's the end of it. My local exchange is not due to be ADSL
enabled and I would have to see if we could be connected to it as we're
connected to the Winchester exchange at the moment which *IS* ADSL
enabled IIRC but it seems we're far too far away even for RADSL!
