It's seperate from the package info and isn't,therefore,blindingly
obvious....but i suppose that's OK for Idnet,it's just not OK for anyone
else.

I've never seen a sync rate quoted in kB before.

6.9 kb means 6.9 kilo bits. You would struggle to view text pages with
a connection that slow.

Kilobytes however sounds more likely and should be abbreviated to kB,
or KB (the "B" is capitalised).

That would have been a luxury in the days of 1200baud modems and text
based bulletin boards ...

Very good service.
Highly recommend them.
With BE you can open a ticket via the website, and it gets responded to
fairly quickly.

My first browsing was with a 14.4 kbps modem. You couldn't get anything
faster at the time.
