Hi all, i am thinking of getting broadband with [www.plus.net](http://www.plus.net) they offer a modem for £44.99 but i don’t know which modem it is.

Can anyone recommend a ADSL modem for the PC???

Also i’m looking at getting a wirless connection for the broadband so i can use my laptop anywhere in the house, I have been looking at the U.S. Robotics USR9106 54Mbps ADSL Wireless Router, does anyone know if this is any good??? and does anyone recommend a good wireless connector???

I’ve been looking for a broadband deal and was a bit p\*\*\*\*ed off with Wanadoo (my ISP at the moment) and BT’s broadband deals because they were limited access. I don’t really like AOL cause I knew someone who had it before only to have bad experiences but this one looks like a good deal.

Although I’m skeptical cause they don’t mention limited access, even to say they don’t have it. Be careful…NTL promised unlimited access, got a whole bunch of people to sign up only to then turn round and introduce limit’s…now NTL and a bunch of angry people are heading to the courts

At [www.plus.net](http://www.plus.net) its £21.99 for unlimited bandwith on 512K (£14.99 package with the premium upgrade). I know a few people with them and they said they are the best around.

Id go with NTL, ive had it for a few weeks (previously on wanadoo) and ive found them to be much much better.

I got a free modem and free installation, and im only paying £9.99 for the first 4 months (£18.99 normall price)
