ADSL Access, trial accounts

[mavx]

Guys, anyone with some advice? We're currently looking at doing away with some of our existing diginet lines and using ADSL access. What I'm hoping to do is "test" the systems first before doing away with the diginet lines. Can one pay for the installation but buy your own modem, subscribe for maybe a couple of months and then decide? We dont want to try it out and be bound into any contracts. Are there such things as pay as you go ADSL products out there ? Any advice on what modems are currently better suited to small LAN situations ?

As understand it, as long as you don't take their modem you can subscribe for as long , or short as you like.
I have a Billion modem/ Ethernet/Wireless router and it hasn't given me any problems, also very cheap, I guess they have even cheaper products with less functionality.

Yeap - sign up (NOT A CONTRACT!!), buy a router (I like the linksys WRG54G, billion is also good), and then get an account or two (get an IS ADSL account and a SAIX account to see the difference).

Sounds promising, on another note, we have our APN setup for our 3G users. Would we be able to route the ADSL users onto the same APN? This would basically let them get VPN access to our server and not have any access to other areas of the web apart from our own database etc...
