[dundee] broadband access

[tom stott]

yeah try and stick with the ethernet - i personally went for the more 
expensive (but more adaptable and hassle free) route and forked out for an 
integrated adsl modem/router/wifi ap, so nice having it dishing out dhcp 
without any hassles for usb modems and there bloody latency (play a couple of 
online games and you'll see what were talking about!)

as for the isp - i still sing the praises of plusnet - have a look at thier 
website - its a very good service - very reliable - no outages (yet :))

hope all of these peoples opinions are helping !!

ps - did i mention that blueyonder sucks and should be avoided at all possible 
costs ;) - ill save you all from that rant again ;)
