I'm not on Broadband at home. Two and a half miles from the centre of a County town. One mile outside the town boundary. A quarter of a mile from a telephone exchange. But no go. Can't get cable TV or Freeview either. At least the stagecoach comes past twice a week now! |

Graham, I think BTs rules on Broadband have changed since they met their targets so you may get it soon. Elisabeth |

Thanks for sharing that with us NOBers Chris. I am going to ask GC to set up a Not on Broadband board so we can watch our own paint dry!! Shelli - if when you go onto any website and you see the hourglass cursor as the page loads (which can sometimes take several minutes) then you're not on broadband. Graham |

Hilary Broadband is a faster form of internet connection. It also allows you to use a phone on the same line as a computer. Cost for a domestic user is about £25-£30 a month as opposed to around £13 to £15 for a dial-up connection. |

I use Tiscali as ISP and it's pretty quick, so I haven't bothered with broadband. |

BT's goalposts certainly HAVE changed. the original target was if 200 people in an area require broadband it triggers installation, now its 500. Hmmmmmmm and NO i'm not on BB. I am ISDN but thats expensive for 64k. BB is being rolled out in Africa FASTER than BT is doing it here.......... |

Yes me! Plus: I don't have channel 5 or digital tv or radio either and have no intention of getting any of it until analogue gets swithced off and I can no longer get a dial up connection! PS: broadband operates in my area. |
