    Pitfalls:
    You need Line Of Sight (LOS) to a Metro Mast.
    If you want the phone to work during a power cut, add a cheap UPS (Battery backup) as it does not use the phone line.
    Small Outdoor aerial to internal Modem.
    If you want more than one PC and/or WiFi you need to add your own ethernet WAN Router.

    If I wrote about the good points I'd be accused of bias.

    If you get a decent signal, the line is great. On the downside, support is woeful (luckily, it's very rarely needed). Haven't used the actual phone ports myself, but SIP VoIP works grand.

    Keep an eye on the download stats page, it's easy to go over your cap! Particularly on the higher-bandwidth connections.
