    Smart are certainly reliable so far and their billing has been fine!

    Smarts prices are as so:

    3Mb/? = €35
    4Mb/384k = €45
    5Mb/512k = €55
    6Mb/512k = €65

    All prices include free line rental.

    Smart seem to be very reliable. However they are only available in a limited number of areas, they are not available in all places that BT are available, you can check availability here:

    Because they use LLU, it can take a few weeks to change to them from BT and you will have no BB during that time. I think you will also need to get a new phone number.

    If boards was only for things that you can't find out yourself there would be no boards ;)
