With Demon/BT - any better options to include mobile b/b?

sarahemmm

I've been with Demon since 1994, so have always had a BT phone line. Never had any problems with either of them, but I'm thinking about mobile b/b and maybe TV too (currently we have a freeview box).

I can't go cable, unfortunately, as it didn't come into our cul de sac. And I absolutely do not want Sky.

There are 4 people in the house, all fairly heavy internet users. We barely use the phone, though and are not heavy TV watchers. I am away all week, and my digs don't have b/b access, so a netbook option seems like it might be a good idea. I don't want to be paying an extra £30/month though! My mobile phone is prepay, and costs about £50/year for calls.

Any suggestions?

O2 broadband for the heavy users at home, O2 mobile payg to get £5 off the monthly broadband. Plus 3G mobile broadband for £15 per month. You should get an extra £2.50 of the home broadband (ie £5 per month instead of £7.50). Fight you flatmates to demand you take that £2.50 for your mobile. (You won't get mobile broadband for much less than £10 or £15)

So £11.25 landline, £7.50 broadband for the flat and £12.50 mobile broadband for you. (Add £2.50 or £5 if you want 16 or 20 Mb instead of 8 Mb)

Plus you can get £75 to £125 cashback for the home broadband and £60 cashback for the mobile broadband.

That's interesting - I didn't realise mobile phone cos do b/b too. How reliable are they?
