To be fair the second time I looked at the site the "I-dent" had dissapered

and the site loaded much quicker which was a good idea (I suppose it sets a

cookie). However I only looked again because I have a fast line, if I was

paying, I probably wouldn't have taken a second look so quickly.


BT Highway is the biggest piece of hype ever (oh sorry forgot this was a

marketing list !),


It just a repackaged 64k ISDN line (128k if you use two channels) anyway

that another story !
