maybe you should get involved with the consume people then?

i have no idea what there plans are, but i'd imagine it requires some kind
of receiver.  I've given up on NTL ever providing me with a broadband
solution.  time and time again, the ex C&W customers get the really naff
deal.  since BTO are offering me free ADSL installation, i'm going for
that instead.  Should allow me to offer a reasonable consume node.
