I'm currently with VM for broadband. I've had a few bad experiences in the past, I don't like the fact people are still able to clone macs etc. even though VM have sort of made it harder, I've been a victim of this in the past, partly myself to blame as I didn't secure my setup including PC correctly but even with a secure setup, people do still manage to clone as at the end of it.. it is the modem thats being cloned. I've recently read that the new superhubs are harder to clone but the superhub itself has many issues, I was thinking of upgrading to one of these to avoid being a victim of cloning but I just can't be bothered with the hassle anymore.

I'm now thinking of moving to another provider, TalkTalk, Sky, BT.... can someone please advise which would work out the best, reliable, cheapest and tell me whether its harder to clone these companies services? I'm currently paying 30 odd £ for my VM services.

I'll need
Landline + (current number being transfered)
Unlimited usage
Speed - most of the deals I've seen start at upto 20 Mb... sounds good.

I've searched Sky and TalkTalk, both stated I'll need an install with my place not having a line to get their services and no mention regarding line rental? is that additional? I've always been with cable, never had ADSL so I don't have a clue and would appreciate any help.
