After using your Freeola ADSL page to register my interest for ADSL (as my exchange is not enabled). I was pondering if there would be questionable legality in me going through my phone book and submitting details of random people in the village to achieve the trigger level of interest, and thus getting BT off their fat @rses and installing in my area.
A response will be appreciated.

er, crappy server in america i should say.
ADSL latency is just as good as cable, if i can ping some crappy server in 0.1 seconds, and essex is less than 0.01s, i'm happy...
And cable is the same, except you get less upload speed (although some ADSL providers only allow 128k up), and lower latency. TBH I'd rather have lower latency than faster upload.
"some"
In practice, there almost identical in everything but upload speed, where ADSL is twice as fast as cable. CS Pings are low, download speeds are fast, its cheap and its easy.

Because you get the same throughput with lower latency. Much lower latency, according to some.
Like who? Why is it better?
Yes, everyone says so.

Well, um, maybe it's because NTL don't install ADSL. In fact, they have very little to do with it at all. They are a cable company, quite seperate from BT's area of the telecomms market. In FACT, NTL cable is better than ADSL.
Also, this may come as a surprise, but NTL coverage isn't limited by how far their vans can drive...
