Belgium is divided in different area's. In each area ther's just one
cable-provider :-( So you can't chose.

In Vlaanderen there started a few years ago the project 'Telenet'. They
wanted to make the cable-TV-netwerk ready for telephone-use
(bi-directional). Thus it can be used for internet to. Every flemisch
cable-provider joined the club, except TVD, they started of on there own.

TVD will be offerinc cable-internet-acces next month, telenet will start
as from 1 july. The telenet-network is fully operational yet so it only
starts in a few area's then. The rest will follow later.

If you are living in Wallonie, to bad I think. Telenet is trying to
penetrate in Wallonie to, but I don't think they are succeding :-(

You can find more info about telnet on this url:
