>> She claimed I would save money on Line Rental,
Thats the thing - I couldnt really figure out how I would save - because I dont do foreign calls, nor actually use the landline phone that often. If I do then its normally after 6pm when its 4p for up to an hour.. so my total monthly bill is normally not much more than the monthly line rental.
The only real saving I could make is if I got their "discounted adsl" - no thanks!
The house I was at last night has TT with 20dB atten by the time I'd sorted the original PC problem that I went round for - I didnt really have time to mess with the connection (and perhaps by this time had had too much wine to care).
But I did a couple of speed tests and it was getting a cracking 1500kbps down and even the upstream was low (under 200 iirc), which is pretty poor for an 8Mb account. I'm not going to mess with it anyhow since he's had enough and is in the process of migrating elsewhere.
