i'm getting sky in when comes around my way which is at christmas,u get a free wireless box with sky. so to keep me going i got virgin broadband in as it's not got a contract so i can cancel it as soon sky comes out. it's also good for downloading it doesnt strangle the bandwidth.

as 4 ur lappy nearly all new ones have wireless or wi-fi built in. just ask to make sure b4 u get one. then get a router and configure it with the lappy or wait 4 sky and get the free wireless box.

hope this helps

Im changing to talk talk and i applied last month and the estimated date for my broadband connection is end of september. Meanwhile i have been disconnected from my current broadband supplier as talk talk have taken over the line. Their offer is good but i advise you to ask for a estimated connection date before you agree to anything.

since ntl merged with virgin, if you cannot get ntl broadband you will be able to get it from virgin through a bt landline, ill look into it more to get you specific details but that is the jist of it

I too considered TalkTalk, but was concerned about the reliability, have heard several stories of people who are changing and been left without a B/band connection due to them taking over the line, how can you live without BB for a month or more? It would be like being cut off from the world.

Have a look at Pipex, they are offering a decent deal at the moment, from a friend who has been with them years, their reliability is excellent.

If you read the talk talk small print it tells you that they can slow your internet speed down when they are busy, I know someone who has talk talk ans they ordered it when the deal was first advertised and they only got it last week.
