    Already checked that. However, Bulldog (LLU) will be enabled on the Lowestoft exchange by the end of August. This will make Bulldog's 16meg package available to Lowestoft residents using the Surrey Street exchange. (I'm 400 or so metres from the exchange, and another member on here is closer than me!)

    the only real kinda "free" broadband available to the UK (not just city centres) is orange

    sky - need own equipmant in exchange
    craphone warehouse - need own equipment in exchange

    date likely for above companies to have own equipment in local exchange to me......not in my lifetime!!!!

    Just got a letter from Sky about this.


    Monthly subscription £17
    Connection fee £40
    Free wireless router (worth over £50)
    Download speed up to 8MB
    Monthly usage cap 40Gb
    Home installation (optional) £50
    Free McAfee Security Centre for a year ( worth £49.99)

    All we ask is that you stay with Sky TV during your new 12 mth contract for Sky Broadband

    No other options available.

    Doesn't seem like a very good deal to me.
    I already have a wireless router
    8MB download speed ( if my line would let me)
    No limit on usage
    all for £14.99 per month with Tiscalli

    Maybe I am missing something?
