The Telia thing is OK for WiFi, but utterly silly for an always-on service.

It doesn't really bother me - I run qadsl (app for automating the connection w/o manually going to the login page) at boot after all the other network scripts on my Linux box. In the (very) odd event of the connection dropping it's just a matter of doing "qadsl -l" to login again (possibly after having to power cycle the ADSL modem )
