You are not paying for P2P on that one (regular package is £21.99). Or maybe their £14.99 DSL connect 150k service. It's still DSL (datastream) just capped to 150k bandwidth. Jc. The original poster did specify "broadband", and in the general UK definition, 150k is NOT broadband... hey hum...here we go again... |

Are you saying a 150k connection IS broadband then? personally, I think the 256k definition is stretching it. 512k plus is reality.... what i'm saying is that the question has been done to death in just about every thread since Tiscali and then Plusnet launched their 150k service. |

But possibly not the route to choose when you are in a hurry. cu mgk -- "There are some things you don't have to know how it works - only that it works.

It just makes life so much easier not to bother to argue about it (again, and again, and again :-)) |
