not a good idea to give out your full postcode (edit it whilst you still have time)

Thanks i will read as much as i can, it will probably be mostly trial and error but thats the best way to learn.

Just wish i knew how to get my areas ubr without having a modem in my house.

My internet at the moment comes from an o2 dongle while im moving
