Trying to sort a better forum page with less ads and no sign in. Should be online in a few days, time permitting. Then all will feel free to post their comments, without being pestered by this ad junk!!
I received numerous mail last night..., here I post just a few I can quickly find...
Dear Ian,
Very well done. Nicely co-ordinated effort. I know that 138 subscribers in East Chiltington will be pleased! Sadly we are at the absolute end of the 890 line and could fall foul of the distance limitation from the exchange. However, we look forward hopefully.
Thanks again for your enthusiastic effort for all of us.
Kind regards
John Anderson

I am pleased, but is this real? Other villages have had various false
dawns. I phoned BT today and they said they would have to check the whole
list of signatories and then examine the exchange and could give no date.
Where is your information from?
In the meantime we are extending the wireless broadband in Plumpton which
is slightly faster and slightly cheaper than BT. I have been using it for
over 2 weeks now without a hitch.

Many thanks for the email I have put a poster up in the Station at Plumpton.
Isn't it interesting what happens when large groups get together. Again thanks for being the catalyst.

Yes, I'd heard. It's really going to happen then!
I thought we would have to wait until tomorrow (Wed) and I was beginning to feel like a child on Christmas Eve...!
But instead of that I've been checking out the offerings from the various providers as listed by www.adslguide.org.uk since it doesn't feel like counting chickens anymore! I don't know whether you have got any particular provider in mind. Am I right in thinking that the South Chailey campaign was supported by Eclipse Internet? They come out very well on ADSLguide performance rating charts.
At my office in Worthing I use Freedom2Surf. They also score pretty well and I have been pleased with their service. The pricing is reasonable with activation free if you stay with them for a year.
The cheapest provider looks to be Bulldog. Unbelievably a 2Mbps service for only £334 per year.
Alos need to check what punishment we have to suffer from BT to get rid of the ISDN lines.
regards
Gareth
