Internet without line rental

Post by gordonlear » Thu Sep 06, 2012 7:35 pm

I am looking at getting rid of my landline but still want Internet and wifi. How can I get if with out paying line rental. I can not get virgin fibre optic. Is there any other way (apart from stealing someone else's)

I'm sure you can get a subscription to BTWiFi if you're within range (I live in a city so I do).

Upgrade your mobile contract to something like Three's One Plan and use your mobile as a wireless hotspot, or buy a mobile internet package where you can pay as you go with data.

Orange mis sold me a tehering bundle without even knowing if it works on Blackberry and it didn't so I got charged their standard out of contract rate of wait for it £1 PER MB!!! so yeah 2.2GB internet usage in a month. They refunded that bill but didn't fix the problem so the next 2 months were over £500 each and they won't refund them so now I owe them £1300 apparently, so its pretty much killed my business, I have no business contacts apart from work I do at ITV but thats very little. Yeah bad times at the moment for me I'm affraid :|
