this is the UK we are talking about here....

my mate lives in a small village (around 1,000 give or take people) and the village wrote a letter to BT, and u wanna know what the responce was..

It would not be viable for us to install broadband in this area as it doesnt present a good business turnover... or some crap like that..

so basicly they wont install BB in the village because they wont make enough money from it/and it will cost em to much for the contractors.... welcome to the UK!!

I know the feeling, I had to back to dialup for the last six months but I have now moved and got back on to DSL.

I will proberly still download Lost Coast even though my PC isnt powerfull enough to play it.

I dont think I can use Lost Coast for excuse to upgrade, the wife won't buy that :D

if u bothered to read the update it said that it will be released at the end of this month, and since its now the 26th its nearly out, and the steam/valve forums are saying the same thing.. its due out either tonight or tomorrow night.. my bet is tomorrow night

BT Wholesale allow you to upgrade your exchange if you get enough people to register their vote.

I did it in my old village in North Yorkshire, you get free stickers to annoy the neighbours with as well.

supposedly this offers a tiny bit to the actual story of the game,

I think it doesnt actually. Originally thats what was said but unfortunatly the magazine or site that got invited to valves HQ to play it said nothing was actually revealed.

I'm sort of glad its disjoint, wouldnt fit the story alot nor the gameplay of HL2 (which endevours to keep you in the story...but lost coast taking place at some point within the HL2 story means that magically you have vanished from that world to this town and back again....doesnt feel like the HL way to me). As such id like it to be as disjoint as possible. I think its rated at about 15mins gameplay. I just wana see how my system handles the HDR.

Why should they?

They're a business, not a public service.

BT suckass with their excuses. I live in a tiny village in the UK (less than 400 people) and I've had broadband for well over 18 months. But I know what you mean, broadband-wise the UK seems to be miles behind other countries.
