Just read the new report on the Freeola ADSL upgrades, and I had to laugh at some of the stuff said here:

£49.99 for 1MB broadband? Bit expensive isn't it? A certain ISP are doing it for something like £35.99 or 40.99. And the same goes for 2MB. That aside, here's the phrase that made me crack up:

"All these connections come with the speed and power of BT Broadband plus a FREE domain name, a FREE static IP address, UNLIMITED e-mail and FREE web space, so you can easily set up your own website."

A FREE static IP address? Wow, thanks! Every internet connection that I know of has an IP address is standard (and is probably a law that every computer must have an IP address if it connects to the net). And it's static? Wow! Thanks! Static, is not good, SR. Dynamic is what we want :)

Note: I'm not taking the p!ss (well, maybe a little), but just making a point. And no, you're not the only ones - I have sent them E-Mails containing similar content also :)
