    Cheapest/best broadband..

    I had 1meg bb from Pipex for one year and then my mam has recently decided to cancel it and go with a phone calls and internet in one package with HomeCall. It's on 512kb/s tho and this is going to suck. Plus homecall are dickends who didnt think it was unusual not to phone me to let me know they can't setup bb on my line until I got the marker removed off pipex.

    Since all the speeds are getting higher i'm thinking/hoping the prices of 1mb/2mb must be getting much lower now.

    If people can point me in the direction of some good but affordable (for my mam) broadband packages i'd be happy.

    Pipex was £28 per month and now homecall is £24, but u get calls included so i dunno how much that must work out as. £15 or something?

    £15 - £20 would be most grand :angel3:

    YEAH, FOR RAW PACE THE UK ONLINE OFFER IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE...

    AINT IT GOT D/L CAPS THO?

    I HAD CONSIDERED IT, BUT FOR WHAT I DO PIPEX DOES THE TRICK - AND GENERALLY SPEAKING THE PIPEX SERVICE / ETC IS SECOND TO NONE... BUT I DO AGREE, PRICE AND PACE WISE - UK ONLINE ARE MIGHTY IMPRESSIVE! :)
