Cheap internet access?
 
Assuming i have to pay phone rental lets see who can find me the cheapest solution to getting internet access in my flat without holding down a job. And go!

A Dialup or a DSL Lite would be your cheapest bet, however, I have no clue as to the English companies, so I'm no help other than suggesting that.

There are local/regional internet service providers around here and they always offer the lowest prices, so I would look for something like that.

Find a hot spot and steal someone else's!

I win.

yep, start carrying the laptop around the flat and seeing if you can find a spot to connect to wireless.

if you can't get wireless, then you could get a cheap broadband connection, the slowest broadband speed your ISP offers, and "flash" it to get the fastest speed available. That way, you're paying not that much for an excellent speed.

or if there's a coffee shop or bar nearby with Wifi then just go there a lot. Even my local Subway Sandwich has Wifi.

If you put your cell phne/Home phone/ internet plan together its very cheap.

have sex with everyone at the cable company and get free broadband.

That could work, but it depends on whether or not they're sheep.

Steal wireless!

I was thinking that but i wasn't sure if it would be cheap-er.

^If you intend on having all three, then it would be cheaper than doing all three separate, obviously, that's why it's a deal. it usually costs as much as only paying for two of them separate, so it's a fairly nice deal.

I'm using my neighbours...:o:

littleknowitall 11-12-2007 09:29 AM

I dont plan on having all three, basically i was going to get a real cheap land line, one that only accepts incoming calls cause the signal in my flat is so **** and then a low speed internet, and i suppose i'll just have to get up off my arse, sit back down on it and browse the web lookin' for the cheapest offer then.

harvey96 11-14-2007 09:02 AM

I think have sex with the boss of the cable company will do the magic.
