Thanks guys, but that is the same information as the internet has provided up so far, I'm looking for real world feedback. As far as paying for their backhaul as part of my broadband goes, do I care? I have an ADSL connection with spare capacity. It won't cost me any more to get a good signal in the house.

As far as purchasing one goes, I can get it for free on certain contracts and I'm out of contract on my current phone, so that is not an issue.

You can register 32 handsets, but only 4 can call at any one time. So it is more than capable of handling all my family's calls. By doing that it saves me money, as currently I pay for calls to mobiles and my kids (when here) only call mobiles. This will save £30-£40 a quarter in call charges.

Flymo - it was Craig who mentioned this to me and your colleague lives on the other side of the Vale of Clwyd to me. My main interest is how well it works for phones and text. I certainly would be interested in more detailed feedback about range - I know the spec. sheet says 30m radius but how is that affected in the real world for instance? What is call quality like? Any call drop outs? What is the effect of multiple simultaneous calls? What effect does other traffic the ADSL line have? etc

Apart from the above, I'm also wondering if there is some technology lurking that will make this obsolete? Such as these pico-cell things that I cannot really find out about or how they work. The residents association is trying to get one of the mobile companies to do something to provide coverage in the village. (I'm lucky that I get a bad signal, most have no signal) If these pico-cells make it economical for say Orange to provide coverage, why should I buy something I could get for free?
