fwiw I recommend freedom2surf. Have a look at what they have to offer. Theres a lot of good information on their site and when I -or any of those I know who use them - have dealt with them they have been real people and not 'trained idiots' who pass the buck or just pass. If you refer me as a recomender I would get a tenner. However you can also recommend anyone else you know who is with F2s and give them a tenner. get the wires only deal and buy an ADSLrouter modem from somewhere such as savastore or wherever you source your kit. Wireless G if you are ever likely to have a portable Mac. starts at a 2mb connection from £15 p m. Lots of other packages with different levels of cap. I have exceeded my cap (£20 p m at 10gb) but they didn't charge me. I have had a couple of very small outages over about a year and I think that at least one of these was in fact the router getting stuck and needing resetting. http://www.freedom2surf.net/ (I just checked their site and it looks like 8mb starts at £15 p m.). check it for yourself and ask if anything doesn't make sense.
