"Broadband"

So What do you peepz think of broadband then hey i'm gettin mine very soon and i can start uploading my webpage WooHoo. Any one already got it or u got modem post your connection types here!

Broadband from NTL is cheap. £25 a month, some 0800 dial up connetions ar £15. ISDN is more than £25 a month. So cable is well worth it. But not all the country is covered. Where I live we were suppose to have cable early this year but we havent. Broadband is the future and with the PS2 and X-Box(Which I've pre-ordered) being able to use broadband would be really great for online gsming and downloading the extra levels, characters e.t.c. for the games. I live in Worcestershire and NTL dont have any place in Worcestershire connected with cable :(.

yeah if i was you pro i would also stick to TV. sry to hear that you can't get faster connection though. I mean the only reason why i'm getting it is because i use the net all day everyday. who else has a modem or broadband?

I would love broadband but sadly cannot afford it. We already pay for Sky Digital and as much as i use the net, and wish it was faster, i will not give up my footie and films that Sky offers for a faster connection that i can put up with, after all, i only use it for the Wednesday site and SR, also to down load some songs but that does not take long.

No broadband for me then. :(

As soon as i have a part time job i am ordering a cable modem, i have an interview for next week for a job , just to give me extra money while i'm at college!, i really want broadband though :D

Knew that, thought I typed it ASDL first so then changed it but must have got it right first. Too long on computer need sleep.

ADSL :-)

I really want Broadband. I download tons of movies from Kazaa on a 56k modem. Cable would mean that I could download so much more. Hurry up NTL and get it sorted.

BT costs alot more than NTL because BT offer ASDL which is different to Cable. Most people would prefer cable as its cheaper and you get the same service to the ASDL.

I envy you. Broadband, I haveth not. Over 5 miles from local server. Weep.

Yup, broadband does indeed rock.

I've had mine since July, from NTL. £25 installation (already have phone and digital TV from them) and £24.99/month for the 512k service.

I did have free access via NTL World on my 56k modem and an 0800 number, but £24.99 is less than half what my monthly telephone bill was when I was using Demon/Freeola dial-up. (Yes, regular monthly phone bills of £50 or more!)

Unfortunately I still have to use my modem to update my website, which is on Freeola's servers. But I can't find a better free hosting service, so it's a small price to pay, and SR *are* looking into providing broadband access, so it's worth tolerating as far as I'm concerned.

thnx guys i can't wait for broadband i will have such ad advantage especially when i play counterstrike.. Plus why is BT so expensive i mean £40 and to BT customers. cable is £33 to non-Bt customers . Sort ur selves out BT
