It has a limit on bandwidth but for 10pm I have unlimited bandwidth.  Also
includes a phone line (it goes out over adsl until it hits orange=92s
netwo=

ANYTIME landline calls for free (up to 2 hours), plus to orange mobiles and
landlines in usa and 99 other countries..

Me too, I've downloaded a lot ofer my pipex, although I suspect part of the
reason I have no trouble is because I only get 512k :((

Even using 512 at max and including the upload rate (they count
download+upload) I can still transfer a load of data.
