		a hub is not £150....

No one is saying these things to be awkward but after an accumulation of
disasters from BT, my dad working for them for 40 years and leaving them
last month out of 'disgust' at their service and the horror stories you hear
all of the time it's quite simply easier to go with BlueYonder....

Sorry. If you have it and are happy then cool but I will never give BT
another penny of my money...ever...
