Why are all our dial up ISP's so crap. I'm on BT internet and there so called anytime (more like sometime) it takes ages to connect and when your on a download it cuts after 30mins sometimes.
AOL is probably the best with no cut off but then you have to use there software which then takes your PC hostage and only a re-format will ever get rid of it.
I think it's about time they pushed broadband and reduced the cost (£40 a month is to much BT) i also think the cable company's should extend there coverage.
The console makers are all talking about online gaming but it's not gunna be possible with 56k access which has it's limits.
Maybe the console makers should set up a gaming broadband service of some sort that can be avalible to everyone.
There always telling us how great broadband is but there not pushing it so that it's in the reach of everyone.
Maybe one day we all we have broadband connections but it's still years away unless someone does something about it.

BT broadband is £40?! that flippin crap.
I think NTL cable modem is £25, which is cheaper but still expensive when you compare it with most of the rest of the world.

Cable is also meant to be slightly more reliable and faster than ADSL. The main problem with cable, as stated by bars tard is the poor coverage of cable in this country.
I believe cable internet is the way forward. Now we just need to wait for the likes of telewest, NTL and blueyonder to pull their fingers out a little.

I have AOL and sometimes it crashes for no reason. Like a couple of nights ago when I was writing a really long post.
On Blue yonder you can get broadband for £25 a month, I have normal Blue Yonder, £10 a month, it never disconnects for no reason, its really good
i think the 2 hour disconnect has it's benifits but is also iritating when downloading a large file which can't be resumed. i also think cable modem is the way forward. the phone line are getting a little crowded.
my AOL 7.0 keeps crashing so thereofore i'm stuck with AOL6.0
I didn't lie, I just ommitted certain truths....

The only problem is that when everyone has cable that would be crowded and slowed down aswell. What we all really need is a dish or something like that your own fast connection which you don't share with others.

Good idea,
I america something like that is already up and running, in some areas ONLY you can access the internet with out a phone line, it uses radio signals (i think) , that would be pretty cool but them again, think about listening to the radio, internet tones 24/7 ;) .............
Its a bit like the wirless network that runs at school (in mine anyway)

i have BT anytime and it cuts after 2 hours then you can re connect. Its just as fast logging on as the msn one. AOL is crap.
