[Gloucs] Extra ISP accounts.

[Tom Llewelyn]

Hi Geoff

If advert pollution is an issue for you, have you looked at Adblock Plus?
 It's a browser add-on which removes the ads from a page.  I've been using
it for a while on both Firefox and Chrome and it does a pretty good job.

You can get it from http://adblockplus.org

With regard to your ISP question, as far as I know you can't have two ISPs
providing service on the same physical connection.  And in this area, the
only other network offering separate physical connections is Virgin Media.

Hope that helps

Tom
