BT has been testing its interactive services with consumers in its ADSL

trial in West London. 


At least one of those taking part, Rupert Goodwins of IT Week, prefers the

plain old Internet just speeded up and always on and says he never used the

BT services: 


"By all accounts nobody else on the trial bothered much either. BT provided

a cumbersome and impenetrable front end to a selection of mediocre content

and unreliable services that illustrated only quite how good the unadorned

Web is for delivering exactly what you want with the minimum of fuss," he

said. "


dunno if uncle rupert is a typical user - anyone involved in the design of

content for the adsl trials want to reply or have any trial findings???
