Broadband and genealogy

I have subscribed to ancestry.co.uk for a couple of years now

only subscribe to ancestry.com if you have a major USA connection
- sks did my US census look ups for me -- only one family - via an AOL
genealogy moderated chat room

I am keeping a low profile until I get reconnected to broadband next week

In UK AOL platinum 1 MB is a bargain with just now 20% off unil the
end of September
- better value than BT - 0800 help + unlimted traffic - + community

at the moment using a steam modem the best I can get out of the dirty old
BT POTS is 24 k bps

so
(1) get broad band
(2) ancestry images

AOL rebadges local services such as the BT Voyager USB ADSL 100 modem

cable tv has also excellent broadband I am told - tnen use BYOA
but I think it really pays to usea a router

the start up of the machine is much quicker and there is less overhead for the AOL software

AOL calls for UK broadband competition | The Register
very very true I dropped TeleWest because I wanted AOL
