RE: DSL BT buisness 500

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Ian,

What sort of problems did you have with BTOpenworld ?
technical difficulties or customer service problems ?

The reason I ask is that my exchange has just hit its trigger level and
will
become ADSL enabled in the near future :-)

Originally I was considering Zen because of the static IP addresses
they
offered and the fact that the price was comparable to BT Openworld
which
didnt offer static IP addresses.

However, things have now changed, I have the chance of a staff offer on
either BT Broadband or BTOpenworld at a saving of quite a few quid per
month. 

Does the BTOpenworld offering block any ports that would prevent me
accessing my machines from the outside world?

The dynamic IP address wouldnt be a problem as I have a way of accessing
my
home which works with a dynamic IP address.

Thanks

Keith

Still wouldn't touch BT if they paid me, alright then, may be if they
paid me a lot ;-)

I beleive that was the old Ts&Cs - since the Self Install ADSL, you can
plug in what you like.

If they supply a router and you "tamper with it", then they
reserve the
right to suspend your ADSL service.

Personally, I would NOT recommend using BT as your ADSL ISP. I have
heard a number of horror stories surround their ISP arm's inability to
communicate with their ADSL provisioning arm.

Regards,

Mark

Does anyone know if you can get the buisness 500 tarif and remove the
router they supply and fit one with ethernet from a third party
