1) Can I use it on more than one computer and if so how much extra does this cost?

2) Is it actuallya vailable yet? Their website says it is but should I believe then?

3) How long will it take for them to install it?

4) What's the minimum length of contract?

Thanks guys.

1) You can use it another computer with a router or software equlivant
2) I do not think that it is avaliable
3) Dunno, 2 months ?
4) 12 months

One other thing to consider is that there is port blocking, I think FTP, HTTP, and POP3 are the only ones avaliable

I know that Freeserve and Madasafish are doing ADSl, It may be worth while looking at the Freeserve one
 
How do you guys do those smiley art. I hope you have some program that creates these things for you, and are not wasting your time 😀

I would like to know 🙂
 
Yeah I'm trying to learn C++ so I started with this:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>


void main()
{
ifstream alphabet(&quot;alphabet2.txt&quot😉;
ofstream outfile(&quot;out.txt&quot😉;

char binary_data[1000];
alphabet >> binary_data;
cout << binary_data[10];
int x, y, loop, loop3;

int res_x=int(binary_data[0]-48);
int res_y=int(binary_data[1]-48);

cout << &quot;The alphabet is encoded in a &quot; << res_x << &quot;x&quot; << res_y << &quot; format.&quot; << endl << endl << &quot;Enter text to be converted:&quot; << endl << endl;

const characters = 6;
int pixels = characters * (res_x + 1) + 1;

int lettercode;

char text_to_be_converted[characters];
cin >> text_to_be_converted;


for (loop3=0;loop3<pixels;loop3 ++)
{
outfile << &quot;🙁&quot;;
}
outfile << endl;

for(y=0; y < res_y; y++)
{
cout << &quot; &quot;;
outfile << &quot;🙁&quot;;

for (loop = 0; loop < characters; loop++)
{

lettercode = int(text_to_be_converted[loop] - 97); //gives a=0, b=1 etc

int correction = (res_x * lettercode) + (26 * res_x * y) + 2; //position in file

for (x = 0; x < res_x; x ++)
{
if (binary_data[correction + x] == '1')
{
cout << &quot;#&quot;;
outfile << &quot;🙂&quot;;
}

if (binary_data[correction + x] == '0')
{
cout << &quot; &quot;;
outfile << &quot;🙁&quot;;
}
}
cout << &quot; &quot;;
outfile << &quot;🙁&quot;;
}
cout << endl;
outfile << endl;
}

for (loop3=0;loop3<pixels;loop3 ++)
{
outfile << &quot;🙁&quot;;
}
outfile << endl;

}

where in alphabet2.txt is:

(should all be on one line). (take the first 2 characters off and split it into 7 lines to see what this is).

PS I know this code ain't efficient or pretty but hey, I'm just starting OK!
 
I pre-ordered Openworld in May, but to be honest I have no idea when the evil BT will install it. Apparently those who pre-ordered should get it by the end of October...but I wouldn't trust BT with anything.

Therefore I'd say that it's not strictly speaking currently available, I don't know if BT have even done ANY installations of the Home USB service yet, although I know that they have installed the ethernet business version in many places. I'll be sure to let you all know when BT finally get around to hooking me up! (instead of just winding me up...😉)
