No, @home. And most days it works fine, is fast too, download speed up to 300 kbyte/sec. But there was something wrong with my modem and they replaced it, and it never came online. They weren't able to make the modem known in their system.
A 56k6: that's a dial up, very expensive, right? You have to pay by the hour :?

I haven't got broadband. Got a dial up connection. 10 quid amonth gets unlimited 56k access.

If i have a really big file to download, i chuck a cable out of the bathroom window and into the window of the computershop/cyber cafe next door and plug straight into their network!!
