I`m thinking of upgrading to broadband but just wanted to know before hand what is involved. I currently have a 56K connection so do most broadband deals offer a free broadband modem? I live in the UK if this makes any difference. And does getting broadband involve having my front garden dug up to lay the cables etc... And lastly the deal I am looking at offers 2GB per month, is this enough for an average user?

Best service is Blueyonder www.telewest.co.uk -

Soon it will be divided into two tiers - 4mbps and 10mbps... and you're likely to get those speeds too with their track record.

There are zero limits on how much you can download. It is unmetered and uncapped.

They will lay cabling down and install it, but I have been with them for what, 5 years? great people.

NTL are also good. They are merging with telewest though.

ADSL is a good second. Always look for unmetered and uncapped and expect to pay between £25 to £35 for a minimum of 4mbps for that price.
