![]() Is there any ISP's that you can sign up with that can get you connected immediately? Also without the 12 month contract? Our exchange was enabled on the 1st and the wife is driving me MAD!!! She's pregnant and very emotional and will only be happy when we have broadband. We've signed up to Central Point, but they have to have something else installed in our exchange. It will more than like be connected in the next week or so, but I just want to keep the wife quiet. Any help?? Please?? I think I'm going mad!!!! ![]() |

Not immediately - but most can get you active within 3/4 days. Our exchange was enabled on the 1st and the wife is driving me MAD!!!

Is there any list of firms using datastream, and having seen comments in FAQ documents about needing a 'like' product for migrations to be possible, this presumably means I would be hunting for other firms using datastream if I do wish to later migrate from the 1000 kbps service when my 12 months is up (it was hoped a reduction to a sub-30 pound fee was going to be in place back in July but so far this has not been forthcoming).

Peter M. No definative list that I am aware of - however from memory the following use DataStream, though their will be others: Bulldog (at least some of the time) CentrePoint Hi-Velocity (http://www.hi-velocity.it) Tiscali Tesco BT are due to start DataStream--IPStream migrations later this year (IPStream--DataStream already exist) - so you will have a larger choice then. However, I believe the restricition on migrating to a same speed service will remain. Regards Sunil |

So why do they all say 7-10 days (or 5-7 working days, which amounts to the same thing). -- Alex Heney, Global Villager I went to the Net and all I got was this stupid tagline.
