If you are going to be a light user (mainly surfing and e-mail) IDNet has a good 2 meg deal for £14.99 pcm.
That's a very good router and is also future proofed for when 8 meg connections become much more widely available this year.

So no to aol then! I was looking at eclipse but there is a thread just started on the internet forum saying it is really slow. I don't really want to pay to start up broadband so i suppose that limits my choice?Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
