Hello Patrick,
First thank you for you help ! ( The SCART was i/o).
I think that You can not compare Tiscali NL with
Tiscali -UK, because NL has is own 3 different networks in
NL ( main is called: BABY-XL (partly fiber)).
But in Holland we have all kind of fiber and other fast
connections, for example "ONSNETWERK" ( around
5 M/Bytes) and ADSL2+ from "Versatel" ( 24 M/bits
for 30 Euro's (with 8 live soccer channels with camera
choice )).
So, really, I can't advise you about that subject, sorry !
We have a fast connection but the speed depends on the
other side mostly (pace of a snail)
That's all Patrick
, CU !
Bye, Jeroen
