thats quite impressive.

my requirement is for an internal card so that it can sit inside a 
mini-itx style box and be self contained, and more than the downlink its 
the uplink speeds that I am concerned about ( hence the Request for 
Comments about Benow.co.uk ).

The RFC is itself quite interesting, I've now asked on a few forums and 
even talked to people - its obvious that a fair few people are using 
their service, but very few actually seem to want to talk about it!!!
