Wireless broadband & calls...help!

Hi,

Can anyone help...

We recently got sky TV and have a BT land line for calls only.

We want wireless broadband and want to know the cheapest way of getting this sorted? I can cancel my BT landline before 13th Jan so that's a possibility to go with sky or someone else.

But do I need a BT landline anyway for these broadband packages?

Thanks.

    The broadband will be supplied by your ISP via your BT landline ( where did you think it came from).
    Most ISPs will provide you with a FOC Wireless Modem/Router. This can be used wirelessly to connect laptops, game stations and the like, whilst also having a number of wired connections for desktop or non wireless enabled PCs

    If Sky have LLU'd your exchange then they will be amongst the cheapest option for you. Check on Samknows whether your exchnage has been unbundled, you are looking for LLU operators Sky/Easynet.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
