After a quick phonecall to Birmingham Cable this morning (and a long one
last night...), BC said they will look into it for me, and we should be
able to connect to 0845 353 5666 sometime later today - at last.

Yep.  Just tried it.  It works.  How come nobody thought to ask them
before I did?

Is it true that they BCL are now providing Internet access? 

Can anyone also tell me when they will be allowing Mercury onto their
system for cheaper national calls?

Sid and Sam were in a plane 300 meters up, flying off 
the coast of southern England. Sam bet that if he
dropped a 5kg steel ball six seconds after Sid dropped
a 5kg sack of feathers, the steel ball would hit the 
ground first. Who won the bet?

No they currently do not. We are the only ISP currently using
Birmingham Cable for their dialup lines (and are actually recommended
by BCL).
