Hi Joe, last year I got fed up with the cost of my landline internet service. I don't use a smart phone. I have a USB mobile internet device which uses a mobile phone SIM card. Using the land line cost me around £30 a month for internet and calls. Using my USB dongle I pay between £8 and £10 a month. I use my mobile phone for the few calls I make. My mobile internet is perhaps a trifle slower than the old landline but there's not a lot in it.

My payment scheme is pay-as-you-go so I have to be careful when it comes to streaming videos and music. I've tried several different mobile service providers. When one SIM runs out of data I can either reload it with new data or buy a new preloaded card on-line. If I find a better deal on a monthly contract I might try that, but I had such a bad time ending my land line contract that I am cautious about starting a contract with anyone now.
