Hello broadband!

Signed up for BT broadband this week. I was originally going to go for Tiscali based on their advertising (30% cheaper, 50MB webspace, free web SMS) but after spending a while reading reviews on the web I've abandoned that idea and gone for BT instead. The only other choice in this area is NTL cable, but Emma and I have had bad experiences with NTL customer support in the past.

Broadband will be great, but it'll mean canceling our BT dialup account. Stupidly BT have decided that although you get 50MB of webspace with dialup accounts, you don't get any with a broadband account. So I'm looking around for free webspace - I didn't pay for it before and I'll be damned if I'll pay for it now! The alternative I've been thinking about is serving this webpage from my own Mac. The broadband will be always on after all! I just have to get the hang of the Apache and MySQL on OS X ... we'll see how that goes.
