The take-up is certainly nowhere near the 22% quoted in a survey by JD Power

last week (I wrote a little story about this outrageous claim in last week's

Graun Online - immodest, I know, to quote your own work, but we're all

Because of the remarkable levels of pissing about by BT and the cable

companies, broadband here - as in cable modems and ADSL - is likely to

be a real minority sport for some time yet.


God only knows what damage this is inflicting on the internet industry...
