   Do you have something specific you would like to know?

   I had a 45 minute chat rather than an interview. After 45 minutes she
checked her notes said we had covered everything she needed and left.
Our conversation was taped.. I wasn't concerned as to the anonyminity of
the tape so I didn't ask. What formal questions she did ask seemed
similar to the questions asked over the phone in the early part of the trial.
Did the installation go well, what could have been better etc.

 we talked about static IP... pinholes.... tromboning thru NAT... "always
on" speed caps/traffic shaping... traffic limits and charging... running
servers.... business/marketing models... alternatives/"competition"...
being lied to and ignored... attitudes in general...
rumors/conspiracy/syncronisity/management and being left in the dark
about something that is important to me.

 You can probably guess what I had to say since I have pretty much given
up on the ADSL and Telecom being a long term answer for me I didn't get
very excited. My swearing and being slightly offensive I hope will be taken
as an indication of the strength of feeling I have about some of the issues.
Of course they could also burn the tape because a small portion of it is not
nice therefore my opinion shouldn't count"
