Answer 1

hi there

Yes you can get around the BT company, but you need to have a phone company or cable company.

You can have another phone provider purchase your line and provide you with the phone line at a cost to suit them. this may be higher than BT, but i dont know as i havent done it myself. But i do know that you will have to pay for everything - this includes a sudden charge for updateing your line which BT would do for free (when they do everyones).

Once you have the new company, you can re-oreder your ISP (Internet Service Provider) service, and have that go through your new company.

Cable works different though. that is placed below the ground and has FO (fibre-obtics) in it. You will need a cable provider and a ISP service cabable of using FO. This is the easier method, but causes more problems when it goes wrong.

Cable is also capable of higher bandwidths (faster downloads!) In the UK, we can download at 32Mbits at the moment, thats the fastest civy (normal person without military training from the armed forces) line available.

Answer 2

Depends on where you live. Some cities are now offering free wireless broadband access. Who pays for that? In my neighborhood, I noticed there is an open wireless access point sponsored by a nearby university. I've used it a couple times, but we get better connectivity (usually) with our paid-for DSL connection that goes through a wireless router.

We discovered this "free" access point after installing a wireless network card in one of our PCs to allow access to our wireless router (which also has wired Ethernet and USB ports). The software that came with the wireless card "discovered" the open wireless access point. So, out of curiosity I tried to connect. Sure enough, it worked! But this bypasses the firewall in our DSL router and leaves all protection to a really old version of Zone Alarm.

My advise to you is to get a wireless card, install it in a laptop, and roam around looking for open access points or "hot spots". Try Starbucks first to get the hang of it. You might even find a home portal that isn't locked down. It's illegal to connect to them without permission, but maybe you could work out an agreement with the owner.

I predict there will be nationwide "free" broadband access via wireless in a just a few years. Just don't ask me to explain the economics behind that.

Answer 3

no its not possible. you pay like everyone else does

unless you are
1) hacking into someone's wireless router (which will give you for free for a time, until they secure it
2) use the connections from school (which they could put up proxies to make sure you dont hit unwanted sites).



Edit to ADD:

then find another broadband service for your area (ie Time Warner? Verizon? Comcast? Dishnetwork? DirectTV? )

Answer 4

BT secretly run the world. You just don't know it

Answer 5

It is very possible.. I am with Virgin (NTL previously) and i don't need a line for my broadband..

Hope this helps & good luck,

Answer 6

No, you can't. Too bad. I don't like paying for it, either. Live with it or die, then.
