Sounds great and should save us all a lot of money, but before you actually sign up, please check today's date! I think this is probably one of the many items published today which may be more than just believable, if you look at what you have to do, flushing down the toilet pan is necessary.
If it looks to good to believe then it probably is.

I think this is the best one yet. I can't wait till next year! Everyone should be careful! I even posted a few other discussions when I did this one so no one would think twice about it. I respond more than post discussions. After reviewing my $$ for yesterday I think I will do more discussions though!

That was pretty funny! I was acutually checking it out and until I read the press release saying anyone with a toliet could sign up I thougt it might be for real. When I saw that about the toilet I knew that it was an April Fool's Joke. A great one though!

I saw William post this on gather. I have DSL but I am going to check this out for my daughter. She has dial up and it is so slow. I cant believe that they are going to do this for free. Wow times are changing rapidly. The internet is getting cheaper all the time.

That is really cool. Unfortunately, I have a deal with my cable company where I have to use their internet. Maybe sometime in the future I can use it, but I think I know people who will use it now. So thanks for sharing this good and useful news!

Okay, friend, from looking at it, I am going to guess, based on the calendar that this is an April Fool's Day joke. Right? I will of course, research a little further, but I am skeptical at this time.

Well, now that I've read posts here I have got to believe it's a joke - I mean with all my ISP problems I was all excited and went right off to check into it. But there is no way I would sign up for it - you run a cable down your toilet then in exchange for the free service they monitor your toilet usage, eating habits and all that - it has got to be a joke.... even for free broadband I don't want someone knowing that much about my private business.

You want to know the funniest thing - beyond the fact that I feel for it, is I sat here looking at the diagram and thinking why on earth didn't they lift the seat before dropping the thing in - I mean you'd be sitting on the cable every time you sit down... duh leave it to me to find faults in even a joke - hire a professional to install it under the seat no thank you, I can do that myself.
