If you care to look back the Chew/Truscott/Dexter nutter has championed
just about every ISP at some stage. They've all been so great that he
has had to leave and move on to the next big thing.

Hey Ho,

I am quite happy with my 4 Mbit connection from telewest but maybe I
also take the "up to" (wich is standing on the telewest site directly
next to the offer)in consideration.

Bye

thats true what your saying then something is wrong, should not be that
much to be honest ;-) (normally get 80 - 250 something in downloading,
depends logically on the other sider too)

I would change my provider if I am not happy with them

Basically, you always should have the options to change to BT ;-) and
and even if you have a problem with your government you could move to a
different country, to be honest if I am not happy I can keep complaining
all day or change to a different one ;-)

they've put in the Bartley Wood Business Park every day. Twice.

might be, but for instance if I have a car and am not happy with it, I
would sell it and by myself another car, because if the car is always
in the garage to get fixed it does not make sence to keep it or? why
keeping on cable if u are so unhappy, but I got your point though
