Out of interest, how are you with BT Openworld finding the service? I've
heard a lot of people complain about it (mostly gamers it has to be said),
but from a non-gaming point of view how is the service?

I ask as I've just ordered it myself....install day 17th July, then I've
got the fun of setting up my FreeBSD box to use it, which should actually
be fairly painless it seems from what's been said here.

Knowing my luck I'll end up with a different manufacturers USB ADSL
thingy....
