Thanks G - *that* was the question!
I was just wondering there if you guys had got some new-fangled version of
ISDN:-)

I dare say the BB price and availability is a bit patchier over there than it
is here, but (no offence!) it does my heart good to find that we get a better
deal now than many of you guys.  Bear in mind that this attitude of mine
stems from dial-up days about 12-14 years ago, when you yanks got your
internet connection for "free", and we were paying typically $1 to $3 per
hour:-(

Now (just for comparison) I get 8Mb down, 1.2 Mb up for (converting) $28, and
the option of "up to 24Mb" down for about $37, but I doubt I'd get much more
than 8Mb if I opted for it (line condition and distance), so I just go with
the cheaper.  All "unlimited bandwidth", but a "fair use" clause.

At that, I reckon we've closed the gap (thank goodness!)
That's all DSL and telephone, of course - some folks have cable, and probably
a better deal.

While I have your attention, may I ask what you guys pay typically for a
telephone line and national calls?  In fact, considering the size of the
U.S., perhaps we ought to say "unlimited calls withing the state!"?
