I looked at all those but Freeserve was definitely one of the best
deals for a year for me including everything on offer with no
restrictions on usage. The plusnet 18.99 package didn't support p2p or
newsgroups and supplied no kit - the next package up with p2p support is
21.99 per month (no kit) and the freeserve equivalent package is 24.99
per month (299.88 per year) compared to freeserve's 3 x 15.99, 9 x 27.99
(coincidentally 299.88 per year) - not much difference until a saving of
2 quid per month a year later by which time there may be better broadband
packages to transfer to.
I couldn't really find a substantially better freeserve equivalent
package for one year.
