Broadband
11:47 am on the 4th of August, 2006I need to arrange a broadband account in the flat in Glasgow for the next uni year. Ideally I’d like to get something that doesn’t cost any money, is really fast, with no limits, and is totally reliable.*
Anyway what is the closest I can get to that? My main problem is that I currently have no BT line connected, what I have been looking at is going with TalkTalk and getting them to provide all my calls and give me their free broadband. There’s a couple of problems with this though; I need to get BT to reconnect the line and then switch over - I don’t know if this is possible without having to pay a huge disconnection fee; I’m also not entirely sure about TalkTalk’s service, if it doesn’t work well and I can’t connect all the time then I’d be pretty disappointed. It is about the cheapest thing around that I’ve seen though.
Another stumbling block is that I won’t be in the flat for 12 months so most contracts I sign up for I’ll have to pay an escape fee or be able to transfer it to wherever I’ll be living next July.
*This, as I said is the ideal. To most people what I’ve just described is unobtainable, which is probably true but it doesn’t mean it isn’t the ideal situation. People too often don’t use words correctly. Another misused word is frequent - Christmas comes frequently, Halley’s Comet comes frequently, but a car might break down often not frequently.
