Not true old boy! I signed code of connection few weeks ago. No
restriction other than the secure gateway.
Basically, the code of connection covers 2 setups. One is the standard code and
the other is the high security one (can't remember exact name).
As far as I can see, there is no extra cost to the GP to connect to
the internet etc. including e-mail (handled by MHS of BT Syntegra).
Had a meeting with BT Syntegra few days ago. There was no mention of
additional cost for accessing the internet through the gateway.

Agree with you on this one.
