A couple of things to note when choosing Is your phone line a "Business Line"? if so BT charge for a "Business connection" to B Band, the speed only being limited by the Physical telephone line (ours is 4 miles from the exchange) so we get 1/2 speed Duplex for £105/qtr. You may have to drop the "Business Classification" to get domestic BB. The other point is do you experience (locally) general phone cable problems as the cable is managed by BT. If you have a 3rd Party provider i.e. AOL and you get a connection error it can take 3 Months for BT to respond! (Max) to a service request from AOL With the Business line you are given a next day response. We suffer from Lightening strikes which damage modems and routers and sometimes Network cards and Motherboards. So a good response from BT is essential.
