BT are a bad company, oftel tell them to get their act together and BT say "sure, right away". 3 months later, same thing, "BT GET SOMETHING DONE", BT:"sure thing".
ive been using telewest's unmetered access since feb. at £20 a month, its sweet.
the problem is that all the ISP's int he UK are waiting for BT to get their surftime thing done. i know this as i work for an ISP, for the last 3 months, theyve been delyaing the unmtered rollout, for no reason whatsoever. they just dont help. the isp are also doing ADSL access, again, delayed because of BT's lack of support.
they dont help, because they are making so much money from metered access at the moment.
the other problem is the consumers, the majority of the ppl in the UK (probably) have only been online since the launch of the "free" isps, (non-subscription) this wasvery bad, because att he time AOL were justa bout to trial an unmtered service for around £30 a month (~$70) but as freeserve were taken up so heartily they rejected the idea. and ever since, everytime someone suggested some unmtered access (first seen a year ago, trials by AOL) the consumers said: "why should *I* pay £50 a month???" sot hey stopped that plan.
the problem is nobody thinks of the future., and the press, they are to blame too.
everyone claimed how "bad" the service from telewest was, about 5% had a problem. most other people (like me) had no problem.
what is there in way of TV card support? if i had that, i would convert to an imac/g4 NOW... what options are availible, then i can sell this pc and work from a loverly clean and reliable interface...

doom didnt need multiplayer.
it didnt matter to me i was playing the same game over and over for 2 years. i loved it.
they need to recreate that, which i hope they do.
the multiplayer should just left as simple DM.
if it needs addtions, mods will work their work.
no-one else publishes bug lists.
bugger wrong place. damn this lack of sleep.
well kinda, i kinda missed out anything to do with nvidia, and the mac's current lack of any *good* bundled 3D gfx cards...
all i want from this machine (a personal one in my room) is IE, quake* (with accelarator), photoshop, mebe office/outlook and a TV card.
of which im not sure about anyhting regarding TV cards, but im sure theyre supported in some form...
