I pay £24.99 for unlimited 8meg speed boardband usage with AOL. I been paying this for this for a year or two now  and I believe I'm being ripped off as price for the internet gone down over the past year.

I would like to stay with AOL, as I don't fancy changing settings and email accounts, but they're price plans have now changed. So I could haggle and get it cheaper me thinks.

Seeing as the new plans have limits, is 4GB a lot a month. Or should I go for at least 8 or 10?

The down point is that it may involved Minimum 24 month contract.

advice please.

What he said. I'm with AOL and did just that and got it reduced to 12.99 a month for unlimited 8 meg. I have been with them 3+ years though.

lap top specs
80GB hard drive & DVD writer
1GB memory
Intel® Celeron® Processor
Windows Vista™ Home Basic

I got the free lappy from Carphone warehouse with my mobile contract...its a HP6720, upgrade the memory to 2gb for £12.50.

It does play FM2008 with no problem just a little slow compaired to my desktop.

Get the lappy..its worth it, they are about £250 to buy new.

Depends if you need a new laptop though I'd guess. Celeron processor is going to be quite slow with FM. 

If it's not better than what you've got or you don't need another laptop, then paying £7 more a month for 18months is not worth it.
