Hi Andrew,

I don't want to rain on you parade, but today I read something pretty
disturbing on www.theregister.co.uk which said that BTinternet will cut off
its Anytime users after 2 hours *regardless of what they are doing*!!

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/16386.html

"In a statement, Ben Andradi, president and coo of BTopenworld, said:
"Offering BTinternet Anytime to everyone from day one shows just how
confident we are in the quality of our networks and support systems."

Yes, Ben, except BTinternet Anytime will also disconnect people from the
service after two hours regardless of what they're up to. Just like Le
Freeswerve. But not like AOL UK. Interesting."

I've been using the 24/7 package that Demon offer for a couple of months now
and haven't been kicked off yet, despite being online pretty much all day
every day. I knew that my Demon account that I'd been paying £11.75 a month
to for 7 years (and not using) would come in handy one day ;-)
