Have no idea of current usage as it's been unlimited.
Looking to go to another contract.

1 person, evening and weekend use, general web use, internet radio, possibly a few films, would 40Gb a month cover that?

My 2 kids rip the arse out of my 100gb every month. 😡

Why commit to something so low?

Can your current provider not give you usage, even though it's unlimited?

Moving house so need a line installing, BT will do it free if you go with them, I think SKY charge £130 to install the line.

Plus net is 60G a month, and off peak is unlimited (12 -8am), so if you need big files just stay up late get up early.

feel free to tell them unklehomer refered you 😀

off peak allows hundreds of gigs... if you're that way inclined...

If you're an Orange or T-Mobile user, you can get unlimited broadband for £18 a month including line rental and a £50 M & S voucher:

I've just signed up.

And free router, setup etc...

What's the service like with Orange? How reliable is it? Are there any issues with speed? Looks a tempting offer compared to my current one (which I've stuck with despite not necessarily being the cheapest, as the service is good and never have any problems with speed or the connection being down). Shame it looks like the M&S voucher has finished.

Its the internet radio that'll rack it up for you i suspect depending on how much you use it.
