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.

It's amazing how many people near me have set up Wireless LAN's and haven't secured them.

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.
