Re: BT Broadband 2MB....a good deal?

[Darren Thrower <dlt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since BT got into bed with Yahoo, they've brought out this proprietry
software that you have to log into to get onto the internet.
Where as with Wanadoo or Tiscali, I just set up the internet connection,
put a shortcut into the startup folder and then whenever the pc is
booted or a user logs on, they're already online.

I've set up BT Broadband once - but never again!!

As for usage, goto Wanadoo and go to the Broadband sign up page and each
of the 3 packages (based on bandwidth) there's a link to tell you what
that package means on a monthly basis.
