I dont plan to move for a long time, 3 years is a relatively short period of time when it comes to buying a house.

Also, given the fact that the misses has a few friends in Oz, the Sky Talk 5 quid package could significantly reduce the time it takes to make a saving.

Just a few points
And i may also not get anywhere near 20mb either. Incidentally, its a calulated risk, 10 meg would be fine as long as its always 10 meg, and im only going to live about 500 yards from my local exchange according to samknows.
