I've not heard them blame anyone else - well, okay then - BT was : to blame for it being late, but that's probably because a) they provided : the line and b) they wanted to be first by giving priority to theirs. Hmmm, this conversation is not only getting boring, but is also being overtaken by technology.... :-) Ok, ok, so Demon is definitely getting better. In fact, my whole perception of my "service" has been getting better rapidly since the introduction of the new news machines. To be honest, I don't use the net as much as most. Occasionally I'll download lots of stuff (from src.doc.ic.ac.uk - good speed), but most of the time I exchange news & mail with the rest of the world in the early hours - when I'm asleep. I found that when I *did*, service *was* poor. It's some time since I've had any (consistent) problems, and now they've doubled the modems with this new London ROMP..... pity I'm moving outside of London shortly :-( On a side note, it'll be interresting if we now get good throughput on our connections to the States. If so, the D3 has to be the cause - proving my original point :-) -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
