Hi there - our wee village gets broadband on 11th Aug and I'm thinking of
going with BT - £29.99 for 1MB with 30meg/month cap.
I subscribe to Easynews at the moment - is it fairly easy to change over
the settings to BT? I imagine nothing should change within my XNews
settings and I should carry on as normal - am I right in this assumption?

Is the BT package a good deal?

Does the fact that my village is so small and few people will sign up to
broadband mean I should get fast download speeds as I'll get the line
almost to myself?

Many thanks
Steve

You would be better off goinf for almost any other provider, with no cap.

Have a browse around www.adslguide.org at look at the choice available and the
support, price, features on offer.

Try an independent site www.broadband-help.org where you will get better
deals. Look at Bulldog where you can get 2Mbps for £19.99 and 4Mbps in
central London for the same price.

BT do not give you domain forwarding or a fixed IP address either the last I
heard.
