  2. In order to use ADSL Services, you need an existing BT telephone line and a personal computer of a minimum specification. You acknowledge that we are dependent upon certain third parties to install and provide ADSL Services to you. You also acknowledge that there may be technical limits that prevent us from delivering an operational service to you. We will endeavour to provide ADSL Services to you at the access rate you choose but, due to contention within the network, the speed of service may be reduced at times. The Provider is only responsible for the hardware and service up to the Ethernet interfaces, all equipment and services beyond this are the customer's responsibility.
  3. We do not undertake to provide a fault free service. If, however, a fault occurs, you should report the fault by telephone, electronic mail or in writing to the Support Service. We will let you know as soon as reasonably practicable of any periods of downtime of the Support Service.
