Thread Name: BS: I changed from BT to Talk Talk
Subject: RE: BS: I changed from BT to Talk Talk
I have been considering it, but until all folkies are on broadband there is no way I would know what the problems were with my website, there are always problems. Take IE7 (and burn it - please).

You only have to look at sites with needless 1 Mb pictures or totally built with Flash to see that web builders using broadband and hardly any knowledge can't imagine what you are talking about when you tell them of these problems. I usually decline to link to them - or warn of Flash. If it weren't for FlashBlock I wouldn't bother with a lot of sites.

And with £8 per month on dial-up (which has to be maintained to keep legacy connections going) the £5 cost (it is a cost whatever they say) of broadband looks hardly worth it. I pay first telecom about £2 a month for all calls and BT £11 for line rental. the arithmatic doesn't always point to immense savings. It depends on usage.
