It is becoming less and less possible to say what is the "cheapest" broadband, as the playing field is far from even, as choice increases. You need to consider speeds, contention ratios, caps (usage limits), add ons such as web space and email addys, registration costs, modem included / excluded, minimum contract periods, introductory discounts, reliability, etc, etc. Least cost, invaribly will not work out cheap, but potentially expensive if it's the wrong choice of service.

Most people should approach broadband from the perspective of identifying what they want to do with their connection, which determines the features they need. Only then can they start to compare providers on prices.
