I am from the Uk orginally but now living in ireland. Broadband in the Uk is a good bit more advanced than here but they still have their problems. The main problem in the UK is that unless your living right next to an exchange and on new lines then your not going to get more than 2-3MB. But the choice and speed is there, Check out these prices from
www.ukonline.net
1MB = 9.99
2MB = 14.99
8MB = 24.99
22MB = 29.99
