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

Citizens Advice have all my financial information and they are dealing with it albeit very slowly...
