Well, it's only a dial-up connection, so I'd hardly call it "fast 'n' loose". Figured my landlord might get twitchy if I started drilling holes in the wall for a cable hookup...

My landlady didn't mind when I had Telewest Broadband installed here...at the end of the day, it increases the value of her property. Anyway, you don't have to do it yourself, either - the Telewest engineers come out & do it, and the guys that I had were superb. No fuss, no mess, just got on with the job and were done within the hour.
And it was only £25 installation, as opposed to BT who charge £225 for an "engineer assisted" installation. Ridiculous, or what???

Well, I had trouble with them sending the engineer to the wrong address... which meant the phone number they told him to connect me to was wrong... which meant I got cut off three days later with no warning... had to have the line reconnected. Then had to wait a month for the software. Oh, and instead of just amending my account to the correct address they set up a new one, which meant that the £50 up-front payment I'd made didn't show when they sent the first bill.
Still, all sorted now...
