ADSL RUMORS

Rumors

I’ve heard that BTopenworld don't allow home networking? 

People say that ADSL will not be able to host websites? 

I’ve heard that the IP address changes every two hours? 

I've heard that the "low-loss exchange line" will help me get ADSL?

I’ve heard that BTopenworld don't allow home networking?

This is incorrect, they don't support it, i.e. if you phone support with a problem they will not answer questions.   There other companies that can provide you with a home networking solution based on ADSL using routers, internal modems using Windows "Internet Sharing" features.  

People say that ADSL will not be able to host websites?

ADSL is not a replacement for a leased line, it carries no service guarantees at present, but for hobby/home web hosting it is perfect. With the USB service it is possible to host websites, if your ISP provides a dynamic IP address this can complicate matters but services like http://dyndns.org/ will provide a work around. 

I’ve heard that the IP address changes every two hours?

This rumor existed for a while with BTopenworld and their dynamic IP allocation. But has proven to be incorrect, if you remain connected you will always have the same IP address, even if you disconnect and reconnect quickly you may still have the same address.
