There prices for a single/home is:
£500 Hardware (which i think is a rip off, as you're not actually buying
it, it still belongs to them!)
£150 Install Fee
£150 Monthly Fee! (£99 intro rate though I think)
For a business/multiple pcs you have to pay a connection fee, which I
forget how much it is.
Don't know if I'll ever get it. It just sounds really cool, as living in
a middle of a field in Somerset the chances of getting ADSL are, uummm,
none, never, ever! I'll just have to put up with BT charging ripoff
prices for ISDN.
Thanks,
Hereward
