[SWLUG] Broadband

[Bradley, Peter]

I've used pipex for ages.  They're not cheap, but I've found their
connections to be very fast, there are no restrictions and they are very
reliable.

 

$DEITY help you though if you do get a problem, because it can take up
to an hour to get through to the support desk: and there's no guarantee
the support technician (hah!) will speak a language you can comprehend.
I've tried English, Welsh and French :-)

Hi there peeps innit?

 

(Forgive the vernacular greeting, but I've just read "Doctor Whom", and
it's a wheeze!)

 

I'm finally considering the possibility of dipping my toe in the
customer-service-quagmire of broadband, having
just-about-had-it-up-to-here with dialup. (That, and my phone call
provider has hiked its prices up again.)

 

I would like your opinions on what phone call/broadband provider you
have and how good they are (and how linux-compatible they are), and what
modem/router/firewall you have, and how linux-compatible that is.

 

Is this too much to ask?

 

Thanks,

Marcus
