I'm based in the UK (near Liverpool) and use BT HomeHighway ISDN to access the Internet. My area has no cable and none of the local exchanges are ADSL-enabled, with little chance of either happening in the near (or distant) future. Satellite Internet is a possibility, but it's useless for gaming, unless I'm willing to pay a fortune to have loads of hardware installed, so i'm stuck with either a 64K access or 128K if I'm willing to pay for two lines.
I've been thinking of writing to BT to check out the possibility of them reducing the cost of HH - for example, by allowing me to use the 128K capacity without charging me for both lines - sort of a 'goodwill' gesture to those of us who live in areas where the infrastructure for fast access is limited.
It's a long shot, but if there's anyone out there who is in a similar situation, let me know if your willing to do the same thing - perhaps a few people suggesting the same thing might at least get them thinking...
