BT were certainly extremely useless on the trial. But it was nice to
have 2 Mbps for 30 quid a month. Shit, a friend of mine got the 2 Mbps
and was never even billed by BT!

Which reminds me - IIRC this router has a hacked kernel, because we
were playing (unsuccessfully) with uncapping and (successfully) with
removing stupid firewall/NAT issues that BT introduced.
