h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, the order is in to convert the ISDN line to analogue and activate the broadband connection (fingers crossed that I'm not too far from the exchange)

Being an optimistic and impatient soul, I've already got an ADSL router, so I *really* hope that my line will support ADSL.

While I was at it, I made sure that the router handled wireless networking, so I can play around with 802.11g (when I find some more money - looks like the only presents I'll be buying this Christmas will be for myself!!)

Still, assuming all goes well, my vague hand-wavy and optimistic calculations lead me to believe that I will actually save quite a bit of money by going for ADSL. Here's hoping, I could use a few extra quid at the end of each month...
