As Minions Postmaster (Sub) I should take this opportunity to say the Post Office will launch it's own Internet Service on Monday. Costs are about £21 /month 8Meg std and £26 /month Advanced. The Difference will be Free Router and "unlimited b/w" Deals with Home Phone also make it cheaper. I think I might sign up as I currently pay £105 / qtr for a 1/2 speed duplex "business connection" from BT No problems but very expensive!!
