Has anyone got this? At £80 odd, "easy-to-install" and £30 per month, it seems a lot less hassle than any other boradband/ASDL type thing.
Anyone?

I have the Pipex offering (http://www.solo.pipex.net/), in fact left FS to join them. 23 quid a month. Just checked the pipex site, looks like the good launch deals have disappeared. Now 50 quid setup and 120 quid for the modem. Ummm, glad I joined when I did! Check out http://www.adslguide.org.uk/.
Cheers, James

I dont think Freeserve is any less hassle. It is the same thing everyone else has becasue they all get it from BT. An engineer converts your phone line at the exchange, you plug in your DSL modem and splitter and load the driver for windows. You create a DSL connection. You sirf the web.
I have the pipex one too and it is excellent. Only had 1 down time and that was for 2 hours in 5 months that I have had it.
At the price difference between Pipex and Freeserve you`ll make the install fee back in the first year from Pipex.

I`ve got it. It`s okay. Paying £29.99/mth. Get yourself some firewall software though. I use ZoneAlarm Pro, (althought there is a free cut down version available from them too).
