There's another option....
I am part of an expanding community wireless network called the Feeed Mesh Network Club. We have two 'Feeed Nodes' in Reading now, one on Tilehurst Road and another in Hogarth Avenue.
Some of the good points of our service are:
1) We're not in it for the money, we're a not-for-profit club
2) Membership is £6.95 a month
3) We can supply you with some webspace.
3) Upload speed is 256Kbit/s same as ADSL.
4) As its a club, you can help shape what we do.
5) You can use any other Feeed Node in the the Feeed Mesh.... there are Feeed Nodes in Hastings, Bexhill, Eastbourne, Reading, Northampton, Rayleigh (Essex), and Merseyside.
6) You don't need to use special wireless equipment, we use standard 802.11b kit
7) You can use it in the garden/park/street with your laptop
And if you already have ADSL then you can become a Feeed Node Owner and start your own wireless neighbourhood.
