Having seen/tried various broadband providers, I would say that if you are in an area where cable bb is available it is the only option to go for. Very fast (about to be upgraded to 10Mb FREE!), competitively priced and no limitations. If you go to the Telewest site you can find out if it's available where you are. As for the wireless router, all of the top brands are good and most are very easy to install. I have used Netgear and Belkin and find both excellent. Just be careful with siting (although there is new technology which vastly improves siting issues - can't remember what it's called - doh!!)
