Hey, i am in the same boat, missed out on halls so i am renting provate, not broadband so i am having to get it. I think i will go for an all in one deal where you can download as much as you want for x per month. I was looking at Tiscali and Wanadoo, both use BT landline i think. I also noticed my website provider does broadband, fasthosts.com...
Dont get limited as i calculated even as a moderate web user i would go over 40gigs, especially watchin clips on youtube and listening to internet radio whilst studying and sending files and pictures n all that...
I think even AOL offer an unlimited package for not too much...
I have decided that i am not going down the cable route, i think if you dont mind the usage limited then TalkTalk look good, you will pay £20 per month for unlimited uk landline calls, line rental and there broadband. Cable is 30 per month for phone, tv and internet, not a bad package really...
