Re: OT Sharing a Broadband Connection





Hello Lee

There will be one PC per household, i.e. four or possibly five max.
The sharers are my neighbours in a small rural village, so we know each
other fairly well.
There is an RAF officer, a solicitor and a barrister amongst them..
There are no teenagers involved.
I'd like to keep the cash expenditure to a reasonable level say £100/120
per
household.

Regards

Tracey
