As subject I am looking to updrade to Broadband (Finally I know LOL)
Anyway I've been looking at wanadoo 1MB which is £18 a month with free modem+connection, but you have to sign up for a year.
Are there any others like this without a contract? (I.E 512 or 1MB with free connection+modem around that price)
If not what is the Wanadoo like?

http://www.ndo.com - like ZenADSL, a bit more £ than most, but it's a proper service and is reliable.
My contract's quarterly.
Don't sign up anywhere for a year.

Also, Wanadoo 1mb at £18/month has a quota for downloads. These suck.
I'm on Nildram, they're reliable, quick and fairly cheap.

I'm with virgin.net - £24.99 a month for 512k but you're not tied to any contract, and I can't fault them really, always have a reliable connection.

Wanadoo is quite good. I've been on it for about a year and half and always been able to conect 1st time. Was on BT Broadband back at home (well sort of still am -- lol) which is also also quite good and had no probs. Both 1MB BTW. The BT one goes on your phone bill whereas Wanadoo goes out your bank. Wanadoo is £10 a month cheaper than BT which is all good. BT are greedy though, they charge you an extra £1.50 a month just to be able to use you e-mail in Outlook.

i use force9 at work an at home, absolutly amazing with top class customer service.
Packages available: http://www.f9.net.uk/products/broadband_home.html
2mb connection for less than £20 a month.. happy days
Unless you are seriously gonna download alot of data 2gb should be satisfactory, although if you over run that 2gb they will charge you around £1.50 per gig, penuts
Theres a interactice portal too, which is worth taking a look at:
http://portal.f9.net.uk/index_portal.html
you can login and take a look with the following info
Username: testdrivef9
password: thekeys
well worth a shot.

Oh and unlimited downloads too...
Apparently tesco.net is £19.99 and 512k/unlimited as well, but not sure about the contract thing...
