Okay internet is becoming a big thing now, but one problem is bills could add up to 100 quid, through playing Quake 3 online. That's what Sega hasn't got, and needs it badly to boost start it's internet service. It's what all of them need on their consoles.
If the PC's have got hold of that first, what's the point of using your DC's online service when your free to stay online as long as you want, like what i can now.
If i buy a PS2 or GC i will not even touch the online services until it's free! I don't want to pay hundreds of pounds just to surf the net on through the TV instead of a PC monitor.

NTL? £5 a month? Free internet? Are you sure?
If you can, switch over to NTL.
Their initial line rental is cheaper than BT, and a second line is cheaper still.
And internet access through them is completely free. All you pay is your line rental, which in my case is under £5 per month. All internet calls are through an 0800 number, and there is no monthly charge either. My line rental (£4-something) is now all I pay.
They do cut you off if your connection is idle for 5 minutes, or if you have been connected for 2 hours continuous - but it's no problem just to dial up again!

Having free phonecalls costs £10 every month though so it's hardly free!
And also, no one han phone you while you're using it.
We need to find a way without having to use phonelines!
