A handy reminder of why I chose Zen from my ADSL line - their reputation for customer service etc, and the hope they would put their customers first - rather than last.

Also good timing, as I was increasingly being tempted by a package deal for broadband/TV etc, but there's no way I'd go for Virgin now, so at least there's one lost sale - plus anyone affected by reading my Tweets/Blog etc...

Because if I'd been surfing for something illegal, I'd definitely be carrying that laptop with me, jam-packed full of the evidence?

Time to buy a cheap eee-pc or old cheap laptop, and only ever use it when traveling to access legit sites. Or just avoid the States as much as possible, which is a real shame after living there for a while and dreaming of returning permanently...

I love American people, but I really don't like what America does as a nation. And the fact the UK seems intent on copying so much of it - like privatising healthcare...
