Broadband Query
Hi all,
I don't know if this is a stupid question, but I couldn't find anything else on the topic, so here goes.
I've turned my Nan into a bit of a silver surfer - she's 79 and after giving her my old computer a couple of years back, she's ALWAYS surfing and emailing her friends. Anyway, she's so addicted to her computer and the Internet that she's always asking me to upgrade it for her and she has recently told me that the time has come for her to get broadband.
At the moment, she has NTL phone and analogue TV. I was wondering if it's possible to have broadband with analogue, or if she would need to upgrade to digital. I don't think she can really afford to upgrade her TV package because she's on a pretty good deal at the moment - one of the old analogue packages for about £10 p/m for her phone and TV. However, if she had to upgrade, she would be paying roughly an extra £27 per month (Base Pack inc. phone for £19 + £17.99 for 150k 'broadband'), which she wouldn't do.
If this is the case, an alternative may be for her to cancel her current package and just stick with the phone (for £9.50 p/m). She doesn't live in a Freeview area but if it comes to it, I can fit her a new aerial which resolves the TV problem. However, is it possible to have broadband with just a phone line?
If anyone could advise me, I would be extremely grateful.
