not bad.

I'm with NTL and get the broadband, phone and line rental and tv plus family pack or whateve rit is and it averages out to 45 quid a month.

Get free phone calls after 6 to landlines. Never use the phone though. At most its talking to Doc. He can phone for hours! I fob him off to amber and go watch the telly most of the time! lol

Never had that much joy with NTL, loads of my neighbours have it now so its slow as at peak times.

So we should be listening to 'The Hoff' then? :P
