Hi,
I am a 64k ISDN serfer ,which was sold to me at the time as a fast broad band service.Which it is not.And one day I hope to make the leap and go 512k, giving me lag free gaming. But what is holding me back is the price. £29.99 is far too much for me personally and I just heard that people abroad are getting it much cheaper.Some say that they only pay £14.99 for the broad band service .At tops, I wont ever pay more than 20 pound for the service. If it ever goes that low that is.

I work in a Programme Finance team for Centrica. You could call me an accountant (i know I do), but i'm not qualified at the moment.

Ok Armatig. As I speak, I am crouching behind a bush ready to pounce the offer!

I pay £40 per month for NTL 3 in 1. So I get digital TV, telephone and broadband internet. Compared to paying £15 for AOL plus x amount for BT, it seems quite reasonable.

But then I earn £30,000 a year.

I pay £25 for my broadband, which is from telewest, but it's only £25 because we are an existing telewest customer. I can easily afford it, and it is worth every penny. Faster downloads, less lag, and because it's a cable connection people in the house can still use the phone while I'm connected.

I would be prepared to pay £30. I think like this, broadband is 10 times faster (at least) than dial up. I pay £16 for unlimited monthly net use. Now broadband is only 2 times as expensive, so its a bargain really.
