I recently got the freeserve broadband service thats available in dixons. This finally means i can get broadband in my neighbourhood. Here is a quick thought though,
Since my telephone is converted into both analogue and digital lines, and a filter is used to seperate them, would my xbox brodband modem be able to use the digital line?
Theoretically, i can't see any problems, but since i'm not an expert I thought i'd seek confirmation.
Anybody got any help/ideas???

Just been connected to pipex, quality service, broadband is excellent. Pipex emailed me to say that line will be active via BT today, but to my amazement it was working on fri 31st !!...Its real quick no being booted for constant use etc.etc..go check out www.adslguide.org.uk for info and surveys on providers..
I wrote a message on online gaming. I f you wanna read it its in fod chat.
I just signed up for Pipex. :-) Think thats what my cousin Res is on too. No doubt he'll post in here soon. ;-)
Thanks for the info. My mate is getting Freeserve very soon so I can have a look at his. I think i'll choose either BT or Freeserve.

Well so far, its pretty impressive. the downloads are as fast as expected, online play has virtually no lag and web pages appear instantly.
The only thing that has annoyed me is the fact that it took longer than stated to set my connection up (they said 10 working days, it was more like 16), and then the fact that when you call technical support, you are on hold that long, you'd think the call centre was empty.
Apparently its the better of the two (freeserve and BT), but i haven't heard of pipex so i can't comment on that.

Thats fine, thanks for your help!

Yup. See, as it doesn't use the telephone's analogue line, the calls won't appear on your phone bill, it can also be left on permanently and still only cost £30 (although if you turn your computer off at night, or whenever, you will need to dial up again, but this takes literally a couple of seconds!)
anymore Questions, just ask. I'm off to get some shut-eye now, so i'll reply tommorow.
