Just out of interest really. We got ours a couple of months ago and it's brill! :-D Coupled with a computer with humungous memory and speed - the world's my oyster! Just wish I had more time to use it ..... :roll:

what does it entail? i know a lot of people have had problems with it, so i don't know whether it's worth getting.

That's a pity sometimes cos when you don't want anyone to ring you go on the comp instead :P

Or when I'll say I'm on the other line on long distance... ;) Works everytime! :D

That's where broadband is useful - no tying up of phone lines, no pay per minute usage - it's just left on all the time, so I can pick up you guys from America no problem first thing in the morning!!!

I hate watching TV too, intellectually, but sometimes I catch myself just, well, WATCHING it!!! ... :roll:

Well, half of the calls are people trying to sell me things or donate money... :? I put on a young voice and tell my parents are not home. hehe ;)

Well, anyone here would like friendly chat and give me ring! I promise I wouldn't hang up on your or pretend to have another line! :D

The question should be, "Who doesnt have broadband?"
I figured most people would have switched over to broadband by now.

It's almost the same price as a phoneline+isp. Maybe a 10$ difference.
