Personally, I would like the 300 meg connection, but I object to paying for all the unnecessary crap (for me anyway) that comes with it.

I don't need tech support for all my devices. If they go wrong, I fix them. I don't need advice on security, as I stay up to date on security as part of my job. As for configuring your network for optimum efficiency, unless you change something physically (like building layout), shouldn't that only need to be done once? And it's not as if your average home user is going to need a particularly complicated setup with multiple vlans, subnets and complicated routing setups.

F secure SAFE? Avast does much the same for free..

F secure key? You can buy a subscription for 50 euros for two years. or buy 1Password for 1 person for £44.21

The deal with GoDaddy is only really worth it if you need to run your own website and email servers. A lot of people who work from home for other companies won't need that (I don't when I work from home), and the money off only lasts 1 year.
