Hi Wayne,

Good choice, although I would HIGHLY recommend going for cable instead of
ADSL! I've been with PlusNet for two months now and had about a weeks outage
so far ;( Nothing compared to the downtimes I had with BT last year though.

I recommend PlusNet over everyone else for actually providing a human
customer support service that is (a) fast and (b) useful!

After spending a while considering a suitable modem, I found a good one at
www.solwise.co.uk -> SAR703. It's cheap (c 70 including next-day delivery,
VAT, etc), reliable (been up 100% since I pluged it in) and sports a dedcent
firewall, DHCP router and NAT.

PS: If you go for PlusNet please write 'asegebrecht' into the referral field
=D MTIA
