"How many of you have broadband ?"

Are you all broadband subscribers ? if not and you want to play online this could be an expensive time to say the least.

I see BT have BroadBand available to 65+ percent of homes now, I am with NTL and have had odd problems but always managed to get them sorted.

I guess around 50% of freeola users have broadband ?

I'm probably miles off the mark.

Ah, I remember they did this just before or after christmas, and to be honest, when my Dad told me that we had been on 600k the last week, I seriously didn't beleive him. It was no different. But I'll try again... and see. :)

I found a (good?) broadband speed test at download.com, got a best of 31kb/sec on my 128 connection,

You will then have to probably download a newer version but it only takes a moment.

PS. Nat, NTL are giving a free upgrade to a 600k line from 17th march for 2 weeks to all 128 customers, got your mail shot yet ?

Yeh on Broadband with Telewest costs £25 per month.

I thought it was only 10% of households...


I have no broadband :_(. I want my dad to get T1, but that ain't gonna happen...

I have NTL, £14.99 a month for it and the T.V. Had a few problems with proxy (That refresh thingy I was on about was down to that) but apart from that, Ok. Anyone signed up for the PS2 Broadband Test Period?

My ex has upgraded hers from 56k dialup to 128k with NTL, she has had a few problems with it. Connection keeps dropping, all down to the installation of the line (seperate from cable), had to call out NTL 4 times to get it fixed.

She got 3 months free connection in the end plus it's just started happening again.

I have 128k line from NTL, only costs two quid a month as I got my standard tv package half price if I subscribed (saving thirteen pound on tv package)

Yep, been on BroadBand for the last year with Pipex and it doesn't cost me a penny!

I love my company sometimes :)
