I would look at these broadband providers:
Zen, Plusnet, Metronet
I use Metronet, who charge me £11.75 per month (£10 + VAT) for 512 Kbps (faster if you pay slightly more), minimum contract of 1 month, billing in arrears, not in advance. I think they offer a service to swap you from your existing ISP for £9.99. See www.metronet.co.uk
The magazine Which? did a report on broadband ISPs recently.
Best wishes,
Robert

Subject: Re: Internet Provision
Dear Jane,
I was wondering how you came upon the figure of £16, as I'm a disabled student myself and my DSA pays for 17.99 a month as this is what ntl quoted me for their cheapest broadband connection. BT also quoted me the same price, but for a slightly faster connection. Therefore I'd assumed that £17.99 was normal, but if it's possible to get it cheaper I'd be interested to hear about it as my disability needs exceed my DSA allowances every year so any savings are welcome!

Could I ask what other assessors recommend in AON's for internet provision? I have tended to recommend up to £16 per month and this is usually ample if the student has access to NTL or the student has a BT line installed.
What if the student doesn't have a BT line installed and needs to have one installed do assessors add the line rental to the cost of the internet provision - will LEA's pay for the line rental as well as internet provision?

Jane
