Well, it goes 256, 512 (which is what I would pay for), and "wide open"
with bandwidth up to 1.544mbit sec.
Well, they say that they can service me provided there aren't any
line-of-sight problems. I'd rather have the 512, as ISDN really is slow
(I can get IDSL at 144/192 which is ISDN but always on).
I'd like to see a demo, seeing as I won't have the money until at least
Jan.
Cheers,
Sean
