Hi,

What's the best way (and cheapest) to get my Dad on broadband using a USB
gadget and a mobile SIM for his laptop?

The cheapest way is this:

270348866869

A USB 56K modem! I know it's not broadband, but it's free using an 0845 on
BT. Why didn't I think of this earlier?

Are you sure it's free? ISTR that there's an exclusion for ISP numbers. BICBW. I'd check IIWY.
