I just managed to connect up broadband - 5 clicks and it will be done it said on the box. More like 10000000005
And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies
live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to
sea in a Sieve.

Like anything new it takes a little getting used to, some ISP's make it easier than others. Welcome to sensible surfing speeds. My ISP is 1 click and youre done, that is probably why they get awards every year. Still since this is a photography forum, better mention it. So that will be no more going to make dinner while you upload your latest post, and not having to wait a millennia to load a page of thumbnails.

Yep that is the hope - so far so good, so much better. Yeah I could have chosen an easier ISP I knew that before I started. This one doesn't supply a modem etc. it is all sort it out yourself (they do have free support line). Bought on price of course, monthly contract so will see how they shape up :)

Congrats! I agree the thought of going back to dial-up makes me sick to death.
