Keys Corner

Ruth got a phone call from T-Com (the local PTT) on Friday – our regular 6-monthly applications for a DSL line have born fruit and we can now have a 1 Mbit/s 384 kbits/s connection. Other locations can get 3 Mbit/s, but even one Mbit/s 384 kbit/s is much faster than ISDN and the main advantage is that we can now get a flat rate. That was previously impossible because T-Com, doesn’t offer flat rate on ISDN and their competitors, who do ISDN flat rates, don’t do Schmitten.

The bearer of the good news promised to fax us the details (T-Com doesn’t give its marketers e-mail, it seems) but didn’t. However a bit of research at the weekend confirmed that he was telling the truth and we have signed up for a DSL connection and flat rate. Now all we need is the DSL-splitter, which should arrive within the next week or so, and then we can try it out.
