ADSL in the UK = very cheap so I can have that on both sites, SDSL is
only just being rolled out in cities, in our area there is a rival
Broadband Wireless Access scheme coming along. A private circuit is
more than half the price of leased lines to the internet - represented
the most reliable option for us - I anticipate it's only a 12 month
solution as all the other technologies become available. I've only
got a 12 month contract and I'm favouring the telco who has the
contract for rolling out the BWA. I'm told the routers can be reused
for this other network too.
