[BNM] Best ADSL contract?

[AndrewGill73@gmail.com]

I use Bulldog which is a division of cable & wireless. I was initially
reluctant to go with Bulldog because i'd heard the customer service was
awful - however, so far i've had no problems and am pleased with the speed
and service.

I pay 9.50 for broadband upto 8mb. And 10.50 for line rental. So for 21 quid
i get a phone and broadband. Using Bulldog you can use services like
18866.com and 18185.com for very cheap phone calls.

Bulldog is a 6 month contract (important for me) which is better than 18
months at the carphone warehouse. Since there is a lot of competition in
this area at the moment, i reckon there will be plenty of new deals coming
up soon, i would suggest not locking into an 18 month contract.

Good luck,
Andy
