Living in the UK Questions

Hi there!

I`m about to move to the UK so I`ve got some questions concerning daily stuff.

* Is it possible in the UK to get high speed internet without having a telephone connection?
* What is a cheap mobile operator where I can subscribe and pay for for instace 100 minutes and 200 texts a month
* What to do with personal / house / car insurance? Does BALPA offer anything (cheap)?
* How do you pay taxes in the UK, does the IR keep a percentage from your salary and can you by the end of the year claim back some money? And whats the tax percentage if you earn around 30K?
* What are do`s and don`t concerning house rentals etc?
* Do employers always offer personal insurance, or is it always completely up to you?
* What are the pros and ocns of living down south or up north?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!
