Base cost is ~£28 / 28 days.  A&A for the "same" level of service (and a
significantly inferior connection speed) is >£140 / month.

Still, back in Finland, I get a real fibre connection into my flat.  The
down rate is >200Mb/s - actually faster than many machines can handle.
The cost is just under £7 / month.  That's a truly realistic price, but
they don't have the infrastructure nightmares that we have in this
