but a lot of them are either low bitrate, or have loads of adverts/people talking in between songs. AOL radio has neither of these

Well, for general internet use all you need is a 11Mbit Wireless Network, so you can get that for about £70 in the UK (probably $50 in the US) so it isn't all that expensive & still possible to play LAN games if you want to.

At this time of me posting I wouldn't touch NTL. Nearly all my MSN contacts have it (not me, you'll see why). But what is happening is my contacts are going offline all at the same time and then they are coming online again and it's really annoying lol. They keep getting disconnected. And the others with other ISPs are happily online lol.

My contacts don't live in Nottingham lol, that's the server they connect to (I think it can be changed, so it might work better connected to another server if you get what I mean).
