right my area has just been activated in terms of broad band.

Now i have a small network running one PC win2k, one mac (osx) , an occasional linux machine and some products from empeg towers.

Questions are

How good or bad is freeserve ?

What kind of speed should i expect from broadband as freeserve say 512kbps but i am sure i will never get this.

Freeserve claim there service will not work with OSX but if i have the pc attached to the broadband can i just steam the internet to my my computer which is the mac.

Any reccomdations on modems etc or should i go for the one that freeserve offers.

Anything else i should think of.
