Re: FN-FORUM High speed, reliable Internet connection

date posted 7th January 2002 13:53

I was one of the openworld trialists and have been using openworld for 4
years now

the service was really bad for first 3 years but now I have to say I have
had no problems for the past 6 months at least

I use home 500 (da one with speedtouch USB modem)
