Cool. How is the internet in London? I’ve heard it is the pits…

Like, what are you options? Is broadband available and if so how expensive?

Oh right… 🙂

Yeah, we have broadband over here in the sticks. 🙂 I’m on it now, in fact. The cost depends on the connection. A 2Mb pipe is about £50 a month, whereas my 1MB is £35 a month. 🙂

ohh that isn’t bad. I thought it would had been more expensive than that.

BTW, what is the sticks?! I’m not from England nor have I ever been there so I don’t know all the lingo.

Mine’s a little cheaper than usual because I get my phone and TV services through the same company (Telewest). 🙂

It means “out in the middle of nowhere” and is just me being very English again. 🙂 I have a tendency to say things and every non-English person in the forums goes “What? Eh?” 😛

Rapage?

Like, you get bent over and well bite pillows because the phone service costs so much there. That is what I heard anyways.

Ah… It can be a little extortionate, especially if (like me) you don’t use the phone much. They’ll charge $15 a month just for the line, plus calls. And last month I made a grand total of no calls. But people phone me a lot, so I need it. :sigh:
