| Here's hoping,

I'm on the wrong side of the ridge, unfortunately, at LS6 2TY. What was
the problem with your flat, out of interest? ADSL is no different to
having a normal BT line, and Cable is no different to having cable TV,
you just connect the ethernet cable to the STB. Surely if they won't
allow you to get a bit of wire in for a phone line, they're not going to
be best pleased at you sticking a mast on the roof!
