So many reasons why not to use that for a main internet connection but two
main ones...

1) Flext + Web'n'walk is intended as an occasional service ... In the
T&Cs
it does now specifically exclude use as a data modem as well as for
VIOP/Instant messaging use etc. (basically anything where you have
sustained
or large amounts of data transfers taking place). The Web'n'walk
"Pro"
flavour does allow use for those services subject to (IIRC) a 2Gb per month
cap.

2) I'd have to take out another phone contract which will probably end up
being about as much as a phoneline with ADSL anyway.

At the end of the day there's no way that a "mobile" phone would
do the job
for me as a permanent internet connection...

...as a backup, fine, but as a main connection, noooooooooway!
