<<At which point the costs will rise or there will be charges for usage of
the adsl service, while bandwidth costs have come down they still are a
significant portion of the ISP running costs and they need to be covered
and from the ISP point of view ADSL is an expensive service with a low
cost to the consumer.>>


Funny that in America DSL is quite reliable. I mean, not as reliable as a LL
of course (by the very nature of the service) but it is common to run
non-critical web services off them. (And the teclo actually gives you a manual
with your modem-router. And it's yours to keep!)

The provision of net services in this country sucks, it is about time ISPs
stopped complaining and provided us with a decent service: both reasonably
priced LLs and reliable DSL.
