Broadband rollout hit
Hit has two meanings - hit, as in 'badly hit' - a bad thing, as silicon.com reports, when BT don't enable as many exchanges as they should have.
But it also means hit, as in 'what a great hit' - cos they have enabled our exchange for broadband, and I now have wireless access at home. We have waited two years for this - my line was enabled at 2pm today (when I was at work), and witin an hour of being home we had a wireless network set up and were browsing the web at speeds unrecognisable for previous home use. This truely will improve my life. And, if tonight's bedtime is to become the norm, it'll wreck my days too. But it's soooo exciting!

I only got ADSL enabled a few years ago - and it does seem to change your sleeping habits entirely, at least at first. Now its just coursework keeping us up til silly times ;)
Beware of the time-wasting net!!! You'll soon find yourself consumed with checking news sites "because you can". Prepare to discipline yourself ;)
