The best deal in the UK has gotta be Ntl's 150k(so called)broadband,and its only £17.99 a month! Where most dial-up costs about that much anyway u get 3x faster than dial-up. Its perfect for me as im not really a heavy net user and dont dl big stuff like movies etc. 500k is £25.00 a month which is cheap too! I used to have BT dial-up and the difference is just so much better! :-D

Can you all believe this, i live just 66 miles away from Central London, wee have no cable here (so no NTL) & the exchange here can't provide broadband, but it is finaly coming just after Xmas, but it will be a little expensive. friends who can get & use the cheaper NTL cabe version arent always getting full speed either.
Dialup makes me do tiny bits of housework/make cups of tea while i'm waiting for stuff to "Happen" so it aint that bad.

Yeea, its far worse now that most web pages are "Assuming" you have BB, taking longer & longer to get to the meat. mind you i've had relationships like that.

call your operator and tell them to fix your connection
OR
change to another operator
every game there is today can be played good on a 56k modem(first player shooters work well, but with broadband you can get so much lower ping), if you get alot of lag its not because its to slow. its because the operator sucks(or you just play on bad servers)

I used to be on the 1Mb cable with NTL. I then moved house and I can't get NTL or ASDL. I went back to 56k modem til BT cut me off for not paying my bill!! I now connect up via laptop, Bluetooth and T610 at about 9.6kbps! So you guys running 56k modems are like rockets to me!!!
