I'm with Tesco Broadband. Now before I get slagged off I would like to state in defence of Tesco that: 1. I live on a farm in the middle of nowhere. I was gob smacked that I was even able to get an ADSL connection! 2. I've never had any issues with the line **touches a big bit of wood** and I've never needed to contact their support department. Not once. Having said that, I'm sure that Tesco uses some other backbone/network [NTL?] and just rebrands their offering. Either way I'm not fussed as it works well and there's no monthly bandwidth restrictions. It's all good :D -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
