Got a letter from Talk Talk. The leaving bill will be £12.23, and if I decide to change my mind it will be waived. No chance. I'm now using a Vodafone pay-as-you-go mobile broadband dongle. No contract and less than half the price. So far, so good. There was a ten day kerfuffle over 15 gig of missing data, but when my previous data bundle expired the 15 gig appeared. Fingers crossed for the future.

Incidentally, for those of you who are computer savvy, I have been keeping a check on my data use using a program called vnstsat. This just returns zero with the mobile broadband. Can it be configured to show data use with mobile broadband or is there an alternative?
