If you can get Smart Broadband then get them, failing that NTL, I wouldn't recommend Clearwire as they block P2P,

In addition I wouldn't recommend any of the so called "Mobile Broadband" option from Three, O2, Vodafone or Meteor.

+1 on the Smart Telecom Option. Can't understand what the problem with NTL is ?They are upgrading everything out that way
PS keep away from all the wireless providers if you want real broadband they are only good for email & light browsing
