What are you paying for your internet connection?

I have just got a contract phone with Orange for my daughter which costs me £15 a month (she gets unlimited texts and 100 minutes talk time). It used to cost me £10 a month for her pay as you go, but she always ran out of credit before month end. I also get, with the contract deal, broadband and a wireless router for free for 18 months, then it goes to standard rate which they say is £12.

This is very odd as I paid £12.99 a month to Orange on a negotated deal (I argued a lot to get it) as they wanted to charge me £15 first.

Now my sister tells me she is paying £17.99 to Orange!!!!!

There are so many companies out there offering tempting deals. Just wondering peoples experiences.

It wasn't to cheeky for me but my son deals with this and he's at work. I know we do have two Pc's and 3 laptops (the laptops are wireless connected or something) I do know he doesnt pay a massive amount and the provider is excellent. I could let you know tonight.

Pat
Sorry not much help but at least I replied LOL

I pay £10 per month with Sky, but when contract up will change, have had loads of problems with it. It was the hardest one to install too.
