England.  or so I've heard.

Bah, they have it England, it's over in Wales that we can't get it !! :(

Though I am hoping to get ADSL installed when it *hopefully* becomes
available within the next few months.

As for the point about per minute charges, most of the UK can now have fixed
rate internet access, can't speak for the rest of Europe though, so online
*** is no longer a prohibitively expensive pastime.

I mean, let's make this simple.  You guys in Europe know more about this
than I do.  Do you think, generally,  that games that are mainly targeted to
a European audience are as much concerned about multiplayer as they would be
if they had an American audience?  This has nothing to do about anyone's
pride or anything: it's just a question that needs a truthful answer.

Of course the next thing to ask is whether GP3 (and its add on) is targeted
mainly for European audiences.  Whatever the case, something is desperately
wrong with GP3's multiplay.  All I'm doing is trying to find an answer as to
why this is the case.

We have un-metered dial-up, ISDN, cable modem and ADSL in the UK.  More
expensive than the US for sure (by about 30-50%), but not unaffordable.  I
also see plenty of UK/European servers on HL / UT / WinVroc.

We're not using the wheel yet though ;)
