    Ok,great news about flat rate DSL or at least it will be in two years time for a lot of us. But what are we to do in the meantime?

    What about flat rate dial-up peak and off peak times ???

    1: 56k analog ?

    2: 64k single channel isdn ?

    3: 128k dual channel isdn ?


    Considering this is what 95% of users have at the moment.

    Well the new FRIACO products (due around June), will probably support the first two options you mention above. Probably about EUR 30 for peak and offpeak access.

    I hope there will also be a cheaper EUR 20 - 25 offpeak only products.

    128k flat rate Isdn is what I'm waiting for. Low ping and 128k is all I want for the near future anyway

    I agree with Revoque. The worst thing about this new service is not the cap or the price or anything else. It is the fact that it does not exist.
