Broadband access from within hospital accomodation

I live in an institution with a BT line ( I know because my AOL dials through BT freephone numbers) However I have to dial 9 in front of access number. Now I have come to be sick of Dial up and want to go Broadband

Will having to dial 9 before the phone line make it difficult for me to get phone access.

Considering I am living in a Hospital ( I work here) , will I have to take special permissions from the admin (unlike dialup where you simply plug your computer and get on with it).

Thanks a lot in advance.
Inside I am THINKING.

  • Yes the line will have to be enabled for ADSL and it belongs to the hospital so you'll need to get authority for that.

    Plus it's not a simple case of dialling an extention - to be honest I'm not that it'd work on a phone extention - but it would if the hospital fitted a wireless router probably.
    Blessed are the geeks, for they shall inherit the Internet.
