That is more than mildly annoying really.

Hmmm, I've looked at satellite and I'm not impressed, very bad lag at
times, useless for online gaming, no upstream connection (so you still
need a phone line and an ISP) and *DOUBLE* the cost of ADSL from BT, I
think not! So I would still need my ISDN for the second line anyway so I struggle to see the point really.

I know there are a few cheaper providers out there of satellite BB but I still do not think it offers good VFM. I reckon a better bet is an
"always on" ISDN, but that's =A340 a month, IIRC, so still more e= xpensive
than a better service...if you can get it of course. :/
