I rely heavily on the internet in my day-to-day life; don’t we all? When I moved house, I selected a broadband provider who could offer me a good deal and a high internet speed.

This meant no Netflix or on-demand TV, I couldn’t use my laptop or tablet and had to do all my browsing on my mobile phone, so I used up all my data and had to pay extra on my phone bill that month.
