Phil, when did BT throw in the surf package for free 'cause they ain't
offered it to me, they told me that would cost another £5.99 a month! I
have
to pay for the surf package on top of the £39.99 that's how I got to the
£45.98.

I completely agree with your dislike of HH from the standpoint of cost and
coming from a house where I had a cablemodem before then I am really
feeling
the pinch however for me the deal was worthwhile.
At the moment we have one phone line and I am tying it up all the time. For
£39.99 (not £45.98) we get the second line (worth - say - £10), I get my
6pm - 8am and weekends internet access (worth £15) and £7 worth of calls
lobbed in, this is in addition to our single line as well.
I considered the "all local calls inclusive" package but I make
few local
calls ... my family are 300 miles away and my partners family are in the
next village and we see then every day. All our friends are further out
than
woul be counted as a local call and so this just wasn't of use to us.
When HH was £49.95 a month *PLUS* calls *PLUS* ISP service then it was
horrendously overpriced ... this is actually quite a reasonable deal now.
Sure ... if I hear from my mate at NTL that they've managed to piggyback
digital services onto the crappy old Cable and Wireless network and will be
offering cablemodem service for £20 a month then I'll be beating a path to
their door but untill then (given that I have more chance of winning Miss
World than getting ADSL which I also think is a bit overpriced at the
moment
compared with cablemodems) in the current round of evalations then the HH
deal is best for me ... especially given that I don't currently have the
luxury of the clean data streams that you get from your analogue modem.
Remember it's a combination of the data rates and dialup times that have
prompted me to make this choice in the first place.
Cheers
Phil
