I hate adverts wrote:


Yes, thanks, I've just found that and it tells me my telephone is connected!
Which it is but due to a lack of adsl filter it ain't useable!
I tried an interactive service and of course it can't dial out.


Mine do not work even with a filter.

the shop. or....

knowing it is inferior and overpriced,

Just coz you (and I) don't use it doesn't mean it shouldn't be there
