Actually, now you mention it, I *do* have a UPS in a box under my desk. I
must find out how it works......

Actually, I was half joking, but I do plug my modem, router and ATA into
one so they don't die if the power fails.

Not everybody lives in the centre of London you know

I live in Studley, Warwickshire. Studley is the largest village in
England, and I can still walk round it in about half an hour. Here's a
photo of some of the locals who live just up the road:

Anybody expecting to make a profit selling wifi round here would feel
a bit sheepish, even if the service was a baa-gain.

My other option is Telewest. BT would have to turn really, *really*
awful for me to consider switching to that useless shower. Never mind
that Telewest don't even offer certain important services that I get
from my BT line.

The RIAA says it's worth about $25 million.
I'll let it go for $5 million, plus shipping.

Draytek (and maybe other) VoIP routers default to the POTS line in case of
power failure.

I wouldn't think Telewest would make a profit in that field either
