And, unless you're in a cable area - which I'm not - you can't get rid of your BT line if you want broadband, even if you never use it for voice calls. -- Cheers, Tim ______ Please reply to newsgroup.

Which is why I'm sticking with Sipgate, despite their recent problems. At least they are free of monthly charges. Ivor |

Yes there have been more than a few problems with Sipgate, but they *will* be sorted out sooner or later and I still won't have to pay a monthly charge. Ivor |

Ivor My personal experience with sipgate and a few other providers has not been good and thats the only reason I moved to Voipfone. Since moving I have not had one single problem everything works perfectly for me exactly as my BT line used to but with out the costs. We have to remember that no internet phone service is going to be error free and like traditional providers they are going to have problems so yes sipgate will solve the problems but the question is when?
