That's a BT ISP thing, not a BT telco thing. I have Surftime Anytime, but I
use Demon as my ISP. I just glanced at my connect meter and it shows 6:19
right now... :)

Nope. At least, not intentionally, anyway... :]

Check - wires only ADSL is on trial at the
moment and will be launched straight after; there are many advantages with
this approach (e.g. you own and administer your own router, free/low cost
installation, and flexible contracts which can come in handy if you rent, or
the ISP fails to deliver).
