hmmm, the only thing ive heard about tele2, is there a scandanavian
company, and that in their home country they launched an un-metered
wireless service.  which by all accounts was great to start with, really
fast.  and then when more people got conencted to it, it slowed down
below 28.8.  and people got really annoyed.  i heard about back on the
consume list, a long time ago, so if you wont more info, go searching
the archives.  for the time being i wouldnt trust them, and i'd place
them in the same category as BTi.  if you do go for em, make sure you
can get out of a lengthy contract if they fsck you over.

but, dont trust me, do you own research, look for any negative info, and
weigh it up against the marketing spiel.
