2 hours and you're automatically disconnected?! Don't go downloading those huge 

service packs then, unless you can persuade them to work with something like 

GetRight. Or equally setting multiple downloads running (off-site backups for 

example) and then heading off for a day's shopping :o(


Still, it answers a lot of questions about "free leased lines" etc.
