Hi Gary & Alison,
1.If you're with Cyta dial 1018 from your landline then the usual 0044... It knocks a heap off your long distance calls. If you get online though, Skype is great and it's free.
2&3. Can't help you with bikes or scooter, just have a shop round and check the notice board in your UKCA
4. We're on Cytanet, we've got unlimited wireless broadband, the monthly charge is 17.50 + VAT, Once they've heaped on the land line charge and service charge, our monthly charges come to 42.93 + VAT. I know some people are on spidernet but don't know how it compares.
5. We've got a sky plus box from the brother-in-law linked up to next doors satalite dish. Cost us 100EUR to get the lad to come out and run the cable accross and we pay half the B-I-L's Sky bill wich gives us the whole package.
Hope that helps
