[Wolves] Broadband recommendations

[Deusiah]

When I joined BT there were no fancy free connection/modem offer. I
had to fork out £30 or $50 (can't remember) for the connection fee and
£80 for a pile of junk USB modem which was swiftly replaced with a £70
wi-fi/4 port router so think yourselves lucky :/
