Default Broadband- How long to install?

Telewest are coming n putting in broadband 2moz afternoon, jus wondering what they do n how long it takes?

From what i understand the modem thing plugs into USB port and you install the sofware yourself so all theyl be doing is wanging in the wire i guess .
Already got cable TV n telephone off em.

I got things to do so they best fuck off quick

yeah they just plug in a wire, test for frequency distortion and then finish there coffee and fook off to find there vans been clamped and then come back for another coffee, well the guy that did mine did , he also said he dont install software as he dont own a computer and aint got a clue how to do it

steve if ya got a ethernet card ya can have the broadband and not use the blue yonder software so ya dont get all that shit they stick on the cd

depends whon he chooses it to be installed as i got mine via the cable box, thats not a straight forward, just like my replys when i know spadge is reading em

thats why i chose blueyonder as its not a phoneline based broadband so ya cant have them autodial programs on my pc casuing me silly money phone bills when i aint aware there happening
no i get a prompt to add my c/c details and there not dial tone , i almost fell for that one too

so spadge on answer to ya question,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, NO

Smit- They doing it for free, not even an increase in monthy charge, thats why

TV n PC are close to each other, and cable fone wires also are close, so whatever they use (no idea) will be pretty easy i guess.

If Stu wants to gimme free access to the porn room il happily moderade it and finally be able to hook yall up with proper porn too, if its anything like the old days everyone just posts rank munters that almost warrent a ban for posting (SheDan for example ), pmsl Me n Droptop kept that place alive
