LOL :) I do aswell but thats one of the few I like for some strange reason.
If you are considering ADSL (I don't mean you Neil, I mean in general), I'd
stongly suggest at least taking the time to browse over the site and forums
once. There is a lot of usefull information on there, and a lot of people
that have ADSL already, from which you can get some good feedback and
experience. Its not just forums, there are links to sites to visit once
you've got ADSL, they have chats with the ISP's and last week was with
BTignite (the people that install and control the ADSL network before the
ISP section).
And its not all bad. Sometimes someone says something nice about BT ;)
Actually, might be worth mentioning the site in AA if you've got space Neil,
its got a lot of information etc on it.

Mmm, well most of the people seem to say that sites that update regularly,
like the BBC Weather site, BBC News etc, are always out of date when they
load the page. Thats certainly not the case for me, and I also visit a lot
of sites with regularly updated content, and I've never *noticed* it's been
out of date. Either way its been proven its configured incorrectly, but
BTOpenworld support just don't give a stuff. One person even said they don't
have a proxy. Nuff said :)

hehehe, sounds about right :) Make sure its tested on a dry day or your line
length will go up :-p
My installation was faultless and painless, took all of 20 minutes to rewire
the socket and pass final tests, so hopefully you'll get it no problems.
