Hi everyone,
My house doesn't have a telephone line. It does have an old NTL box however I don't know what its for.
Anyway, I need to have the internet in my house and I don't want to pay to install a phone line and pay line rental plus broadband on top. I was thinking about getting an internet dongle but I'm confuddled by which would be best for me.
I don't want a contract but I use the internet a lot, probably about five hours a day on average. I do watch programs online however it wouldn't bother me if I had to stop to keep my usage down. Some of the dongles I've looked at only average 40mins surfing a day :eek: I don't really want to pay any more than £15 per month, which I realise now is a lot to ask for mobile broadband.
So I was wondering if any of you guys use dongles, what sort of deal you get and what allowance I should be looking for. Any help would be much appreciated as I'm moving in next weekend and I'd like to have it set up by then.
As an aside, does anybody know how much (roughly) it would cost to have a phone line installed plus line rental and broadband? I'm not bothered about phone as I have a contract mobile (another reason why I don't want a phone line installed, waste of money) or tv packages.
Thanks :)
