mat hudson Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) hi, i'm moving out of my family home and into a flat at the end of this week. i've got a few questions about getting an internet connection. i really dont have a clue what to do concerning it. do i have to pay line rental or for aything else other than my monthly pament to my service provider? who do i go through if i do need to? also what is the best value for money package? a quick google came up with http://www.top10-broadband.co.uk/types/cheap-broadband/ are they any good? if someone could tell me everything i could possibly need to pay for and how much it'd cost that'd be wicked. oh and i dont really want to be stuck into a long contract because that'd suck!i'm sorry i feel like a bit of a retard haha.cheers.p.s this now means anyone wanting to come to mid wales can stay over any time providing they arnt a registered sex offender.

JD™ Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Remember you will still need a BT landline and that will cost you another £11 a monthplus any connection charges.........i went with BT. it's not the cheapest, but you're paying their line rental anyway. in a flat you can't generally get sky anyway and BT is _always on_ unlike virgin media. no technical faults i mean.pay the extra and get the reliability.J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 First of all, and its worth a try because it'll pay for itself in a week if it works, is to buy a wireless adapter if your computer doesn't already have it.You're in a flat, loads and loads of wireless routers (especially if its Uni building). The amount of people with unsecured, unencrypted wireless is amazing; hopefully, you can latch onto a high speed internet connection without them knowing...

TomR Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Some guy at works in the same situation and has no BT line, he mentioned that the 3 network do one where you dont need a phone line as its all dont via their network, i think its £50 for the modem then 10-20 quid for whatever package you choose.
