All be irrelevant soon anyway - you'll be able to get ADSL permanent connection's for =A330 a month at the end of the summer from BT (although full national coverage won't be until 2001). I'd pay =A330 a month for a 1Mbps down / 128Kbps up permanent link... Oh yeah, and if you live near reading you can get wireless permanent links for the same sort of money right now. And NTL have started offering cable modems in the uk (pretty cheap for a 10Mbps permanent link). >Olly Craig.
