Default Broadband. How much do you pay.

Currently paying £23.99/month with Onetel which I feel is a little steep though service has been very good. May change to something cheaper with same good service. Any ideas.

About £16 per month for a 1meg service with Metronet. On a busy month, may touch £18.

Parents at home use Wanadoo 1 Meg service for £17.99 pm, but that has a 2gb monthly limit, not that they'll get close to that.

I have this. Was a bit worried about the limit at first but I have never had any problems with this.

I have the home pack with wireless so for £17.99 pm I get 1meg and online gaming.

576k unlimited, no connection charge, free modem, great service - £19.99 per month with Demon

Watch out for hidden costs like connection charge and having to buy modem.
