in Broadband & internet access
Hi, have been with NTL broadband for nearly a year now. Contract finishes next month. Took up their offer of £9-99/month for 1 Meg. Unfortunatley the price will go back up to £17-99. Have been happy with the service but being on income support i have to budget carefully.

I only use the internet for web browsing, checking emails.

Is there another broadband offer that is 'reliable' and cheap? I am happy with 1 Meg download.

I have rang NTL to see if they can give me a good offer but was told it is best to call back next month when my 1 year is up. The reason being i currently am on a special offer with NTL and they cannot give me another offer till this one expires next month.

I am based n Nottingham if that's any use

Thanks in advance
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    Well if you have an NTL landline then you'll need to get that removed & get a BT line installed as all 'ADSL' providers require you to have a BT Landline to use their services.

    http://www.adslguide.org.uk will give more information with regards to what service providers & offers are out there :)
