Michael,
I've just spoken to someone at TransACT about the WebTalk option, and
according to them it still goes through a Set-Top-Box, it just has the TV
part disabled.
I'm glad to hear that the Marconi Flex modem is reliable, as we have just got
one at work. I will look into the cost of switching over, but at the moment
I probably can't quite justify what I perceive as the extra cost. OTOH, if
my STB does not become more reliable soon...
Rasjid.
