ADSL has arrived.

As of today we now have an ADSL enabled exchange. According to http://www.degrouptest.com/ we might only be able to get 512K as we are at the extremities of the exchange. But hey, it's still 10times faster and I can use the telephone at the same time.

Caroline is going to phone France Telecom tomorrow about ordering our ADSL line and a modem/router via Wanadoo. I might even go WiFi and give the kids the old PC for games/surfing.

Even though I was in IT just a couple of years ago I'm already feeling old and perflexed by this new technology. Does my phone plug into the ADSL modem ? What happens on 'change-over' day ? What about wireless security ? Whoa, get the pipe and slippers out.
