PS one hint, the cheapest is not always the best The expensive is not always the best either (eg, BT).

been using plus net 1 meg for moths now service is 1st class. Not the cheapest though but cant fault it so far. Even activated me before i was supposed to be activated. beware of really cheap ones with 1gig/month limits and so on.

I am with Bulldog 1 mg link - £19.99 per month. Had it for 4 months no problems and their technical support is excellent.

Metronet pay as you go 500. Starts at about £12 pcm usage based to £24 pcm. Your bandwith isn't capped, only the price.
