My wife is more of a fan than I and she is ecstatic. Regarding ADSL : I work for BT and was in on the initial trials. Whether you are fed underground or via overhead wires , the only things to worry about are, your distance from the local telephone exchange ( can limit bandwidth due to line losses, or be so far as not to work at all ) and whether the relevant kit ( DSLAM and MUX ) is in place. BTW I cannot get ADSL at the moment as my local exchange is not fitted with the kit, and it could be some time, and i'm on a dial up 56K modem :-( Best Regards to all ( including Pablo :-) ) Eric Calderwood (Liverpool U.K.) 0151 229 4260 on 7/6/02 7:01 PM, Don Dory at dorysrus@mindspring.com wrote: > Nathan, here in hurricane country all our phone wires are in the air and DSL > is no problem to get as long as the distance to the substation is right. > So, I suspect that your first reaction that the Swisscom gnomes don't want > to bother and because of the governmental situation don't have to. > > Perhaps with the coming broadband in cellphone networks you will be able to > escape in 12 to 18 months.
