Default BT Total Broadband

OK, this has just been released a week before I'm due to move house

It's favourite on the list I think unless anyone can suggest anything better. The only thing I don't like is the usage limit although option 3 is 40GB I don't download much but if the broadband TV or downloading films takes off (and it will what with higher speeds coming along. I anticipate blockbuster dvd rentals to download type thing) it might be an issue in the future. Also the BT hub box will be better supported than most with upgrades etc. Not too sure though on the benefits of the BB phone bit and 'wifi minutes' whatever that means...all included though so at worst I don't use those bits.

The other option is the 8GB bulldog offer but I want the wireless modem thrown in and they don't offer that anymore (£75 extra with dongle).

The other aspect is the phone. Do any actually replace the line rental??? Lots offer 'free/cheap' calls with the BB package but you still have to pay BT line rental which defies the point somewhat.

Hello

BT Total is okay. One unique feature is the 250 WiFi minutes that you can use at hotspots around the country like Airports, McDonalds etc..

Is WiFi as safe from hacking as DSL with anti hacking software?

I've just phoned up and existing customers can get the wireless home hub for free if they want it. the phone will cost £50 tho' but you do get free evening and weekend calls through the BB connection (as long as they last less than 1 hr each)

I'm getting the hub and see if it is any better than the Netgear I'm running at the moment
