Cheap Broadband - Yes Please

What incredible times we live in.  During a spare half hour I was goaded into finding pasties on t’internet.  Blimey the humble savory snack (some say meal) is now global - and can be ordered online for delivery anywhere in the world.

Ever thrifty I checked the prices of available pasties online on Savebuckets -  UK’s latest price comparison shopping site but was disappointed to find they were only able to offer the Cornish Pasty from Wiltshire Farm Foods at £1 hmm not much comaprison there - hobsons choice I’d say.

Since I’d taken the trouble to visit Save Buckets I wondered what else can I check up on??

As a keen gardener with other green fingered chums imagine my delight to come across an entire category dedicated to alan titchmarsh gifts!

What next? Well my broadband internet contract is up for renewal so lets search for a better deal.  I’ve always been nervous that cheap packages from Tiscali and the like are a flase economy and thought it prudent to stay with bigger broadband providers such as BT. My internet search for “cheap broadband” actually displayed the BT Total Broadband packages which include their wireless wi fi broadband ”home hub” and for the moment a free digital tv recorder.

The best of both worlds - a trusted UK Broadband provider (BT) Free gifts and a choice of “Options” to suit my needs and budget.

Finally I couldn’t resist, the child in me searched for “wee” pis-smelling of nintendo’s Wii - hilarious.

50% of Europeans to use mobile broadband

Half of Europeans will be using mobile broadband by 2012, a new study has claimed.

Lower prices for mobile broadband services will dramatically increase the number of people opting to use mobile broadband technology, a study by Arthur D Little and Exane and reported by TotalTelecom claims.

“Lower [data] prices, the rollout of HSDPA networks, and also the uptake of HSDPA devices means that mobile broadband traffic growth is set to explode,” Antoine Pradayrol, head of telecoms at Exane BNP Paribas, told the website.

The increasing usage of mobile broadband is expected to put pressure on carriers however.

Since BT are using users details for the Phorm research I would personally think twice.

Tiscali is ok as far as usage goes. My connection does get annoyingly dropped at times but it doesn’t happen often (touch wood).

I wouldnt use mobile broadband yet. The reliability in my area leaves alot to be desired. BT has a good rep there :) I couldnt agree more.

In my opinion Tiscali is the best pound for pound. I havent had reliability issues but I have heard reports of it before however.

It’s all well and good for Londoners, but for the rest of us (I live on the South coast)broadband is total crap because no-one will upgrade our ancient phone lines. No cable, no FiOS, just old oxidised copper crud. Things aren’t as advanced in the UK as they like to make out.

Yes, please fix that link!
thank u

I have to admit your blog had me a bit confused for the first bit. I always thought a pasty was a ladys undergarment and pastry was the food…

Anyhow, I’d reccomend you avoid going with the no-name internet provider. You don’t know just how valuable your email address is until a few years later when your ISP dries up and all of a sudden your online identity no longer belongs to you! (Speaking from personal experience)

I think the food is called pastry, WRONG - how very dare you comment about something you know nothing about (Muncher says) - take your crap bridal showers elsewhere and pasty is you know something else. Anyways i would suggest you go with the brand with the bigger name as business. Quite an interesting post I must say.
