Good reads from around the Web.
Sorry for the delay with the links this week. Partly it was caused by me getting to Saturday with a mountain of bookmarked articles to consider.
Sometimes I sit down with almost nothing to work with, but for whatever reason this week I seemed to arrive with everything. Hence you’ll find more links than usual in this week’s edition.
Mainly though, it was caused by Friday night revelry.
I try to constrain my madcap partying to Tuesdays and Wednesdays for this very reason!
Next Friday will be an Ovaltine and slippers night as usual.

Product of the week: Broadband deals can be riddled with more hidden catches than the Chamber of Secrets, so ThisIsMoney has run the numbers to work out which is really the cheapest over a three-year period. (It names Vodafone as the cheapest provider, and reckons BT is the priciest).
