yes. I signed up and got a welcome email saying I would be informed of 
the progress. heard nothing for two weeks, then the modem came in the 
mail. waited another 2 weeks and still had heard nothing. so I rang the 
service line but hung up after being on hold for over half an hour. 
tried again a few days later, same thing. so I sent email asking for 
someone to ring me. got no reply until about two weeks later when an 
email came telling me to ring their service line to check the progress, 
so I decided that a company this incompetent can't be any good, so I 
never did any more about it. also Rod has said here that their speed can 
drop to as low as 5mbps, so that confirms it.
