I have blueyonder dial up and it's not all that bad- those 56kbers beware titles are patronising!

AOL are pants, once you have instaled the software you cant get rid of it easily!

*Crys cos he dosnt have one*

it gets worse, im to uni in september, and they dont have connections in the Halls of residence, so if i want a connection i have to pay for it, and with been a student i could probably only afford Dail-up!

well thats what you get when you live in a town of less than 8000 people... congestion isn't so bad... (well... thats my theory, anyway...)

i'm sure my service is only rated at 2mb, if that...
