<br>The phone service is not so hot though, we've had it disappear for days on end, in the first few weeks they changed our number<br>without telling us, you dial some numbers and get through to the wrong number (consistently) and have to use your mobile...
<br><br>Broadband seems OK, though I'm not sure if they are filtering port 80 (incoming)...<br><br>The new FREE "CatchUpTV" service is quite good, saves using the PVR on a few occasions.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>
