one of the advantages of a wires only install is that I get to put the 
modem in the room I want it - the homechoice modem was hard wired into 
the main phone point which was in the worst possible place ...

and I didn't know if it would be useable

so I got BT to remove it

I now  have a shiny new low-budget adsl modem from dabs
which hasn't started working yet as BT drag their feet again in setting 
up the new service
