kingandyIn the end I decided to go with T-Mobile for my broadband needs. The reasons are thusfold:
1) Though there's no package deal for getting both mobile and broadband from them, there's a small chance that the rental on the "second line" will fall under my "Friend of an Employee Half Price Line Rental" discount[1]
2) They seemed reasonably priced and I approve of their "fair use" bandwidth policy
3) I could go to the shop and walk away with the broadband in my hand, without waiting for somebody to come to my house and physically install it and pay them for the privilege (and/or wait for a router to arrive).
Now ... if only I can find that bluetooth dongle, maybe I can set my PDA up to use the puter as a gateway.

[1] suppose I could have checked this with the employee first but never mind
