    I've been looking at UK Online and for £60 you can buy a wireless router with the Internet package. I think we might be able to get 8MB Broadband because I entered our phone number and postcode and it gave us 3 options, 1MB, 2MB and 8MB, does this mean we live in an 8MB area? If so why can't BT supply us with a faster Internet connection (and a modem upgrade. Bah I hate BT)
    Damn 22Mb Broadband would be nice...

    I've check on this page and it looks like where I live is covered.
    I wish I could make my mum understand (told her many times, she just says okay and walks off :swear: ) that we won't be paying anymore and will be online at a connection up to 16x faster than our current one.

    My mum likes the look of the 2MB one for £15 a month, I think we'll end up going for that one with the wireless router, although I do have one question, I'm not sure if the router is just a router or if it's a modem as well, on one of the pages it says it's compatible with 1mbps, 2mbps and 8mbps internet connections so that leads me to believe it's a modem as well.

    I don't think so because it says you can either buy their Broadband modem for £30 or use your own one. I think the Router is a modem as well, I took a look at the technical spec of it, the higher model has 4 wired ports as well, good for my desktop computers.
