[sclug] Wireless Broadband in Slough and Windsor areas

[John Mullins]

Simon and everyone else who replied,

Thank you for your responses. I made the mistake years ago of changing 
my telephone to cable so I don't have a BT line. It seemed a good idea 
at the time, getting rid of the noisy BT line and having a high quality 
cable piped to the house. Although the cable provider in this area is 
called Telewest Broadband, their name is a lie. In Slough and district 
they are NOT broadband and don't look like ever being so, hence my 
interest in Netvigator. This may be why they are targetting this area. I 
shall probably have to eat humble pie and go back to BT :-[ . Is any one 
else in this position? In the Reading area I believe you have broadband 
cable through NTL.
