Re: [LUG] Plug'n Play??? live near a junction

["Ray Smith" <raysmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A freind in Bristol was offered his Broadband access for 20 or 25 quid a month
but he said that was as long as he stayed on it for a years contract.

As to Eurobell having better access. Now you would be lucky !
They don't have the same coverage for ordinary land line users compared to bt
let alone any kind of cable/adsl blah blah blah.
While I'm looking forward to it coming my house ir the last but one at the far
end of the junction box :-<
And I can't honestly say any linux support would be forthcoming as they don't
even list DNS numbers on their web site unless you view the mac dial up
settings which is thei idea of "other" operating systems.
Mind you, when I rang up to ask I was given the dns numbers and told where I
could find them.

I never said that the connections would be reliable or linux freindly support
but that it is coming. Secure. Linux is, but set up a decent firewall.
I can only go by documents that say "not to be viewed outside BT" that I've
seen.
Interestingly, my last mail was sent last night and today I was taken to one
side for a security review procedure. Hope noone where I work has got upset
with my posts !
