With my usual brevity I left some things out. The broadband is for the house and 5 people are using it. Sky have offered £10 per month; up to 16mb; unlimited use; free activation; free sky wireless router; free installation. We have sky TV. Vodafone I am leaving as soon as my contract runs out. Roll on May. I may be asking questions about that later on but expect I will return to Orange. Since Virgin have taken over ntl my 8mb connection has been cut to 4mb and I am charged £25 per month. Thanks for the replies. Sue nb Nackered Navvy
