Im am on orange and previous on Wanadoo (which is now owned by orange). I was paying 17.99 for 1mb and because the company had been taken over i just kept paying that price and left it as it was on contract. As broadband is getting faster for cheaper i decided i should change so i rung up "wanadoo" or orange as it is now to terminate my contract but they pulled me back in by giving me 6 months free broadband and then £12.99 there after so i thought i might aswell just carry on but with a faster boradband speed of up top 8mb. I also got a free 'Livebox' (also acts as Wifi, so your laptop would benefit/be ideal from this) which is really cool and i can make phone calls off it simply by plugging another normal house phone into it, this gives me another number and free calls to any landline in the UK. As for broadband quality, its excellent. I am consistantly recieving on average 7mb of downloads with no disconnections or trouble. At first i did have a bit of trouble setting up but i rung up orange technical support and they got me sorted out within minutes even if the guy on the other end was a bit hard to understand But overall it's good, reliable and fast. No problems with me...yet JK
