Works out as about 55GBP/month for the BT part plus another 20GPB for Demon (inc. VAT). Not 'cheap', but certainly a lot more affordable than it used to be.
Here, I pay NTL 20GBP/month for their cable modem service. That's for 512 down and 128 up. Those are capped limits and it does actually run at that speed.
Sounds a bit more reasonable.. When I'm in the US I'm on the end of a cable modem connection that does 3000kbit/sec down and about 500kbit/up for about the same money. Coming back to the UK is quite hard ;-)

75GBP/month seems a bit excessive for net access.
Yes it is, but then before surftime I was paying up to 200GBP/month for the same sort of access. I'm not expecting broadband to make it out here anytime soon :-(
