    Replacing your landline phone and broadband with mobile broadband

    Anyone done this?

    Letter from BT saying the line rentals going upto £18 a month, add £14.50 I pay to Be for broadband thinking it might be easier to just get a £12.90 all you can eat data from Three and buy a 4G MiFi router, rather than having something at home that 4 days a week will be wasted when working away.

    I know there is probably throttling on Three but I don't down load that much, might just get a Netflix account instead for any TV shows I want to watch with the money saved.

    Has anyone else dumped their traditional phone and broadband?

    (PS I AM NOT ASKING IF THIS CAN GO THROUGH THE COMPANY BOOKS)

    If you are that desperate to save a tenner on a reliable wired Internet connection then you should stop posting endless tulip on CUK and earn some fooking money.

        I am a contractor, but I am still northern so a tenner in my pocket is better than in someone else's

          £18 per month line rental?? They're taking the piss.
          If you can get all the services you want (check Skype etc isn't blocked), then I'd go for it. You probably don't use the landline anyway.

              Nope, its only for the broadband, I have used three for sometime, RDP access etc is good, can do a bit of torrenting and even ran World of Warcraft when I used to play without problems

                So you can't afford internet, yet you can afford to waste your life playing Warcraft?

                    If you are on the bench you should be focusing on Plan B!

                    No wonder British economy is not doing as well as it should.
