right this is a rant
right my dad realises it would be cheaper to get broadband than continue with a second line and dial up
So naturally i was like wooooooooooooop,wooooooooooop,woooooooop!
So we tried NTL the most likely one to get us brosdband and the one in the right price rrange
WE phoned up and spent 45 min(it was free) on hold with a tune that would drive you crazy witch was inturupted every couple of seconds to remind me im in a que(I KNOW YOU STUPID COMPUTER GENERATED VOICE COW) only to be told its not avail able in our area.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
oh and if someone is using the force to do this cut it out!

ya i recently moved and the house was conveniatly(sp?) located next to the areas router.... but they are now coming up with ednet i believe its calles... this can transmit broadband speed data(www) up tp 6 miles. the only limitation is that u have to get cell phone coverage in your area(it uses cell phone towers)

I know how you feel, cause I can't get broadband either but i can easily afford it.

This is due to the fact that British Telecom are a bunch of lazy and tight gits and have set a stupid trigger level for my area :(

I say all us UK Academy users that can't get broadband should storm BT headquarters, mash up some senior directors and hold the chief executive hostage until we get what we want.
