I think this will be an option eventually but not at the mo for me.

No don't do it. Talk Talk are awful go with someone better in case you have to talk to them on the phone.

Unless you play online games or use a lot of bandwidth, a mobile contract is good enough...all you can eat phone, text and internet for £15 a month seems reasonable

I've even been a cheapskate and suffered playing Battlefield tethering my laptop to my smartphones connection rather than pay for the hotels wifi

The real question is how much will you be watching on Netflex? 15gb doesn't allow you to download many films....
