So since i’m moving out of university next year, i’ve been looking to get my internet sorted for next year. So it turns out that our house needs a phone line to be installed. So they can’t do this for 4 weeks and since you can’t have internet service without a phone line. Looks like i’ll be waiting. 

So i need to find an alternative solution. 

I was looking into the modems sold by T-Mobile, Vodafone, O2 and Orange. Quite frankly, they suck. 

They’re £50 to £100 for the modem and then you have to pay for data. £1 per GB unless you fancy paying for a contract. This is a bit out of hand.

Luckily, i have been able to borrow a T-Mobile wireless card. It does however cost £4 per day, which is pretty bad. Which means if i’m in my house for 2 weeks without internet. That could cost me £56, but i guess it’s still cheaper than buying the thing myself.

Overall, the lesson to be learnt here is that BT suck, and that wireless broadband, really isn’t practical. I mean even on a contract, you get limited to a stupidly small amount of bandwidth.
