doesn't sound that bad - it's not tied to one location, and not a
lot more than some of the accounts that exist on ADSL. I guess if
you are *having* to use some other means of connection, you should
be able to claim cost of it from the firm requiring you to use it,
or they should lend you something suitable. If you want to go for
a year's contract, then that's a price you'll have to absorb for
yourself. Early adopters and all that... I was initially paying
29.99/month for a 500 kbps connection, with a rubbishy USB modem.
(Admittedly that was when BT was charging a friend 39.99 a month,
and within a year, I was paying only 19.99 because Freeserve had
mistakenly considered "wires only" trial users to be employees of
DSG... so gave us a significant reduction too!! The date of that
price reduction was September 2002, I think... Would have to check
ADSL Guide to see how prices were changing for other ISP - I think
they came down by about 2 or 3 pounds from a starting point around
30 quid when BT Wholesale launched "wires only" for all customers
in April 2002.)
