using about 10gb a month, 4/5 hours a day, accordingto Orange, but thats getting expensive (have just increased sub from £15 to £25 a month, to cover my 'moderate' usage?!

I never had a worry about cost of t'internet, when i was on dialup (though it were slower!)

    If you can get Sky Unlimited (up to 20Mbps)LLU its £15/month without a TV subscription, £12.50 with a TV sub, or £7.50 with TV sub and Sky Talk.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    So you didnt pay a per minute cost to dial in then? Even at 1p a min I make that 1(p)x60(mins)=60p an hour x 4 (hours per day) = 240p x 28(days) = over £67!! Someone please correct my maths if its wrong. Even if you used one of the ISPs that had a 0800 number you were still paying somewhere in the region of £15 for a account, so dont feel ripped off :rotfl:

    Personally I use O2 (LLU) its around £9 a month as I'm an O2 customer, I get a consistant 14mb connection and its as close to unlimited as I have found (I'm not a really heavy user but some months I will pass 50gb), the customer service is UK based and from what I've read dont talk in circles.
