Firstly I think that you have to persuade that other person that overall the costs are not any, or significantly, more.. So if you work on a basis of �14.99 pm for broadband and what you spend on your present, assumed 'pay as you go' system you may find that there is no significant difference. As you know broadband has a 5 to 10 times faster speed of operation and the fact that one can use the internet and chat on the phone at the same time is a major bonus. There is nothing more infuriating than not being able to get through to somebody, especially when it is important, because they are trawling the net. Imagine trying to operate even the smallest business non-broadband. Also, for the surfer, can there be anything more annoying than having to shut down on-line because someone else in the house wants to make a telephone call.
