I'm in work on lunch at the moment, don't have internet at home.

Count, is that all in or is line rental extra, any other extras,?

John - there's no specific answer to your question as deals change almost daily (hence my flippant reply). my recommendations would be - go with a reputable 'name' and try to squeeze as much out of them as possible.

Thanks count, I retire soon so won't be online, just trying to get an idea of cost as I will have pension problems thanks to those megabucks bankers (or is that a toping error!!)

After experiencing awful problems with my previous provider such as losing connection several times a day for no logical reason, I switched to O2 about six months ago. The previous provider frequently told me that nothing was wrong at their end and I should have the BT line checked at a cost of £150 but after switching to O2 at a fraction of the cost previously, I have not had even one problem since and enjoy six times the download speed I had before. I chose O2 because of the very high score they achieved in Which? magazine and this has been fully justified. The only problem I have with O2 is on my mobile phone as when I'm at home I can only get a half decent signal on the upper floor and virtually none on the ground floor although it's ok almost everywhere else.

Thanks Dudley. We have poor reception in our house with any mobile and have to stand on the front doorstep!!

Hi johnk, is it a land line phone conection you are after and if so have you already got a phone line in the house as this will make a lot of difference to the price you pay.
