This market is ALWAYS changing so always check out latest deals & terms & conditions on their sites.

If you already have broadband setup, at the end of your contract always call around the main competitors to see what deal they can offer you. They often provide a free broadband modem but this is not much use if you already have one. So ask if you can get a discount if you transfer to them.
