Hi James<br><br>I'm on Virgin, but speed is nothing like as advertised<br><br>favourite phrase "up to" 10meg is really about 2<br><br>I'm considering going over to BE but this will mean signing up for a BT landline again<br><br>A friend has it and gets really good speed in Hertfordshire, but I don't know if Kent is different<br><br>https://www.bethere.co.uk/web/beportal/homepage<br><br>No problem with linux with any broadband that I know of, and I've used 'Three' 3G also<br><br>Did you find it slow, also, unless you got a really strong signal?<br><br>Aitch<br>==========================================================<br><br>> To: kent@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>> From: james@jwm-art.net<br>> Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:30:19 +0000<br>> Subject: [Klug-general] getting broadband<br>> <br>> <br>> Morning,<br>> <br>> I'm a total broadband newb and know next to nothing about broadband and<br>> linux because i've lived (for a long long time) in an area where bb was<br>> not available and have been using a wireless dongle to get gprs/umts/3g.<br>> <br>> My main concern is ordering a package and then discovering it uses some<br>> proprietary wotsit which means I can't connect within linux (the only<br>> option believe me). I don't know if this is likely or not (it was the<br>> case with the dialup provider my parents use).<br>> <br>> Any recommendations for packages to avoid and packages to go for?<br>> <br>> Cheers,<br>> James.<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Kent mailing list<br>> Kent@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>> https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/kent<br> <br /><hr />View your other email accounts from your Hotmail inbox. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/186394592/direct/01/' target='_new'>Add them now.</a></body>
