Hi John,

I currently use altohiway via a bt line, which has been rock solid

But am going to give NTL another go...=20

Their 10mb is normally about =A335 but they offered to let me have it for =
=A326
as I have all the tv packages & phone already. After a bit of
negotiation
regarding my "issues" I had when I used to have their 2mb via my
set top bo=

I got a further reduction. They recently moved to unlimited usage,

I wouldn't have considered them even at that price. Theyre going to run
another cable into the house (that'll be the third) just for the broadband,
but I think this is normal practice for their broadband now days?

Downside is I loose my fixed IP. But I'm keeping both broadbands for now,
till I'm happy with ntl. I may even consider bonding the 2 lines if it

I can use my fixed ip still. My company pays for the altohiway line, so if

pay for the ntl myself I get the best of both worlds...
