I appreciate that Andy but, circumstances dictate that cheap is the

If support calls cost £1 a minute what may appear to be the CHEAPEST
headline price is unlikely to be CHEAP in the long run.

In more than 10 years on BT Internet, I've only had to call the support desk
twice. Most problems can be attributed to, and sorted out, locally.

Then you've been lucky. Problems such as dropped lines, etc. are
definitely ones you have to pursue with the support desk.

OTOH, those who think CHEAP (or rather are incapable of thinking
beyond 'cheap') *deserve* to have their wallets cleaned out.

Did you even read my original posting???

She's just split up from her husband and has the cost of setting up a home
of her own to consider. *EVERY PENNY COUNTS* in her circumstances - CHEAP is
a *need* not a choice.

Then perhaps she should forget about broadband and look at PAYG dialup?
Or no Internet at all?

Look, people are telling you of cheap providers, and telling you the
problems so you can sort out the cheapest that will be 'good enough'.
What's the max?
