BT will let broadband customers control the speed of their connections under an initiative announced today.
So-called Speed-Flexing will let customers temporarily upgrade from 512kbps up to 2mbps in a few mouse clicks. Customers must pay in advance for the accelerated access, although BT didn't disclose prices. A trial of the service will begin in April.

DAMN THE UK IS SO FAR BEHIND THE REST OF THE WORLD WITH INTERNET SPEED :x :x :x :x

AT THE MOMENT IT COSTS ME £27 A MONTH FOR 512kbps WITH THAT I DONT GET EMAIL THAT IS JUST THE BROADBAND FEE
I PAY EXTRA FOR THE PHONE.
IF I WANT TO UPGRADE TO 1Mbps IT WILL COST ME £38



THE UK IS CRAP

I pay $80 Cdn for a commercial ADSL account. My speeds are
2.5 downstream and 640K upstream. I get 10 email accounts, 2 fixed ip addresses. Consumer ADSL is 1.5 down and up to 640K up and is $34.95 per month.

The UK was always more expensive than N. American on telecommunications products.

But you still have some of the best beer and Indian restaurants in the world! Perhaps a worthwhile tradeoff??

LOL

I think the food is bland. I love my hot spices. Schwantz, you know better than eating Indian food... I remember a little episode involving you, curry and the toilet... It was curry, wasn't it?

I never made it to the plate of curry... The 12 ounces of straight Vodka precipitated my episode passing out with my arm in the hotel room john.

At least that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

What happens in the USA if you're not poor enough for Medicaid, but can't afford health insurance due to a medical condition? Are you screwed?

Better yet in Canada, you can get a big crate of Tylenol with 8mg Codeine over the counter without a prescription..

Yum!

Once when I was on my way to visit my parents while they were wintering in Florida, my mother asked me to bring her down a bottle of 1/8 grain codeine aspirins. Was I in effect smuggling illegal drugs? :shock: :o :lol:
