How much is that in US$? From the Churchdown Parish Magazine: "Would the Congregation please note that the bowl at the back of the Church, labelled 'For The Sick,' is for monetary donations only."
Approx $1 = Re 50 I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

I have DSL through SBC (AT&T). I have the 384 - 1500 Kbps download (128 - 384 Kbps upload) plan, and my throughput is at the 1500 Kbps because my house is about 200 feet from the CO. My plan is tied into my local and long distance land-line phone service. I pay $86 per month (which includes taxes) for the DSL as well as unlimited nationwide local and long distance calling.

Just checked. Not on their network. Couldnt get the £9.99 but they could provide £19.99 for 1 meg through BT. Not any better than my current deal. Jon

You surely meant 400 MB? BSNL is much cheaper, 256 kbps (download) and a 0.4 GB limit for Rs. 250 ($5.5) and a 1 GB limit for Rs. 500 ($10) (BSNL Tariff[^]) Regards Senthil _____________________________ My Blog | My Articles | WinMacro

Plusnet might be worth a look, they were another close contender for me. £15 for 2Mbit.

Cable modem @ $40/mth: Down 3Mb / Up 256k BW

Same here. It relates to the sharing at the exchange i think. I am not sure how it works technically but that is pretty much the definition you get on the ISP's website. It doesnt seem to make much difference as my download speeds can be pretty fast. Jon
From what I understand, it's all to do with the number of other users who may be using the same line Whilst you may have a 2mb connection, in reality you have a share of a much wider connection. e.g. in a 50:1 you're sharing with 49 other users The actual total bandwidth available, however, won't necessarily be enough to cover all 50 users all downloading at 2mb at the same time, so at busy periods, there's a chance your connection will slow down If you're only sharing with 24 other people, you've got better chances at getting a full slice of the pie. -- Help me!
