No, not in the slightest Smiley
There's 4 exchanges round here that have been enabled.  Noones being forced onto WBC/WMBC or IPStream Connect.

We'll see what difference this new kit makes.
I doubt BT could be persuaded to redirect my line to a near exchange as I know there is one just over the road from me.

Note there is an updated firmware which fixes a problem with wireless connections sometimes not showing up on the list

I'll update the firmware but not bothered about wireless as its a pain in the ass, I know this from professional experience and I really wish ISPs would stop pushing wireless routers as the ideal fix for net access throughout the house as wireless CANNOT penetrate thick walls or floors, you dont notice for browsing but if your application requires a consistent quality connection and bails as soon as it picks up the slightest variation then you are snookered frankly.
Sorry, not meant to turn into a rant and not aimed at anyone on here, thanks for all the help everyone.

I think you should vet all laptop suppliers and tell them to stop installing wireless adaptors.
