So pandora was closed down to anyone other that the USA lately. I have a mac and disguising my IP location failed so I figured there must be an alternative idea. Well - try last.fm for your audio needs. Last.fm radio will let you do what Pandora did and enter a band name you like and they will try to play similar artists.

The benefit being you can play music in the office all day long and not get sick of your MP3 collection.

So I finally got connected last night. Nildram turned me off at about 11.30pm on Tuesday night. The Be Modem arrived the same day which my neighbour received on my behalf (very nice of them) so I collected that yesterday. With some unique tweeks to the router (I am on Mac with a Static IP with Be) and 30 minutes on the phone to Be to resolve a port 80 issue I am up and running.

Not so smooth but the service at Be is so friendly it is a pleasure to deal with them.
