And does getting broadband involve having my front garden dug up to lay the cables etc...
lol. No! :)From your email address I guess you're considering the 2GB Wanadoo deal? I'm with wanadoo's wireless & talk which I've found to be excellent. They provide the router/modem so there's no extra cost involved.
Whether 2GB a month is enough depends on what you do online. I don't play online game or download music or watch many videos so it plenty for me. I worked it out to be ~65MB a day which I haven't reached once, yet.
Before signing up, check what bandwidth you can actually get on your phone line. Theres a test thing on the wanadoo site, somewhere. Wanadoo is a 2Mbit service but my line can only handle 1Mbit. Still a DAMN site faster that dialup, though, Get it!!! :)
