and are wondering what fun things you can do with it now that
you are about to consign your dusty old dial up connection into
the dustbin of history....here are my top ten suggestions which
are not in any particular order of merit:
1. Play cool games online against other people in real time on
gaming websites. Hey you be warned...apparently you can get
addicted to this! Battling it out against other players from
across the world in real time will keep you amused for ages.
2. Watch streaming music videos at much better quality and with
greater ease than you could before, and while we are on the
subject, a great place to watch music videos for free is Yahoo
Music at http://uk.launch.yahoo.com You can even create your own
video channel based on your favorite bands and singers!
3. Download music and listen to streaming tunes at lightning
speed compared to your old diap up tortoise! 4. Watch movie
trailers at maximum quality to help you decide which films you
would like to see at the cinema or on dvd and which ones you
would rather sandpaper your toenails than go see!

of webcams set up around the world, so you can see whats going
on in London England or Sydney Australia.

network and online game all at the same time. They have over
122,000 members and you can make friends, chat online, build

UK Broadband Deals - Local Loop Unbundling Brings More CompetitionThe local loop is currently owned by BT in the United Kingdom
