Not too bad. Still elsewhere you'd get a nice DSL for _much_ less. (and what happens when your box or even some script kiddie anywhere on the net causes more than those 3 G traffic? again insane bills? one important point of a flat rate (especially for home users) is that you'll _never_ get charged more than what you expected.) > The other providers will have to follow suit. the problem seems to be less the isps than the Telekom whose only effective monoply left is the `last mile', and so they still charge everyone (including the isps for their leased lines) an Arm and a Leg for that. (and don't get me wrong, i too hope this 9600bps-over-the-d-channel thing will be obsolete rather sooner than later, but at least it would for the first time allow average germans to take advantage of the net* without the current obscene phonebills.) *: i.e. being able to do more than just occasionally looking at flashy websites...
