Throughout each of our lives, stories continuously happen around us. Expressing them on paper thrills me, but presenting the book to you with grace and clarity is in itself another story. Authors share a great challenge of maintaining your attention, never an easy task, hence, my goal is to move your heart. Please take a minute to let us know your impression. Thank you so much. From San Antonio, Texas and after decades of a successful career in real estate, I embarked on a new career, writing, which simmered for forty years until life's duties came to a halt. Most of the short novels, novellas, and short stories are inspired by true events and take place in Texas settings. I attempt to keep my writing style clear and direct which can be enjoyed from the young to the old. In several books I provide Texas facts with violent self defense battles and natural disasters as well as moving, emotional struggles then combine them with moral fortitude. By curbing the reading time of the books to no longer than the length of a long movie, the intent is to spark interest in individuals who dislike reading.

Early 1900s Anglo-Saxon society redirects Angela's life. Minimally daunted by hardship, a fiery character based on a real Texas woman faces obstacles with gritty conviction while struggling to reach a near impossible dream on the land of her murdered father. A huge silver wolf's unconditional love manifests and rules him to battle until bloody during harrowing encounters when the devoted alpha defends her land, avenges his family, saves her, her home, and the granddaughter for whom Angela leaves a great legacy.
Angela's story begins with looking for ways to put food on the table for herself and two teenage sons. One night as she carries a heavy load of bottles across the rough Texas terrain, a wolf pack viciously attacks her. Surprisingly, one wolf comes to her rescue. Could he be the defenseless, stray pup befriended years earlier by Angela and her sons? For decades grim realities combine with spirits and endless devotion which deepen Angela and Moonshiner's relationship.
EXCERPT: "Tension grows each time Angela abruptly turns, suspiciously observing the pup's obedience: instantly his eyes meet hers.He dares not make a wrong move. She kneels next to him. With quick fingers, she rigidly points toward him, taps his nose, raises her forefinger to her lips and whispers, 'Stay silent, little stalker.' He remains quiet, unafraid, unlike before. On this trip he studies her every motion with his intelligent eyes, eyes she believes in. From the kneeling position, she takes a quick aim. After steady release of the arrow, it thumps into the buck. From this moment, the pup learns to step toward fallen prey to lick dribbling, tasty fluid. Angela pulls her filleting knife and with a strong stomach plunges the knife in and field dresses the deer, packing only delectable sections into the knapsack. By the time she completes the task, the pup has had his fill of meat. Weighed down with back quiver, bow, lantern, water, and sack stuffed with deer, all over her shoulder, she bends down to lift the bloody-snouted pup above her head, wriggling him as one would a child. And so, without objection, he allows her to cradle him during the two miles back to the cabin while he dotes on cuddles and whispers of love."

If you are looking for blood and guts caused by the knife wielding madman or a story of sexual arousal, this is not the book for you. Instead, anticipate a love connection between this woman and Moonshiner. From the beginning, this story will take you along through explosive, touching life experiences, which finally end with a positive note decades later. Being a public school librarian, I highly recommend this story to everyone!
From the moment of birth, all of us want bliss and don't want to suffer. This woman did but she faced up to obstacles to relieve the suffering. The characters grow as the story progresses, and instead of lots of dialogue, the story is told through the actions of the characters. In between the violence, the dynamics of this story have the power to affect our sense of humanity by presenting to us what will ultimately bring the greatest degree of happiness. I enjoyed reading it.
This book helps us to understand two things: One, life is about the realization that if you know something has to be done, be self-reliant and do it, which in turn creates a strong sense of worth. And two, for some of us it can be difficult to know others as deeply as we might like to, especially those we love the most. Be good to those you love so you can live with them after this life, forever and ever.
It taps into attributes that some classics have, something going on beneath the story such as pointing out what is wrong with the society that the protagonist lives in and trying to teach or make a point. In this book, the author states an account of Angela's (the protagonist) very long life on her ranch in Texas. She tells with classic simplicity and complexity of the remarkable ghostly encounters and fights and struggles Angela endured. She also tells of the attention provided by Angela's wolf friend, Moonshiner, who plays a significant role, almost like a second protagonist. The story has some literary merit, surely readers of all ages can enjoy it.
Congratulations for bringing us this heart-wrentching story that so many of us can relate to. The protagonist loves this wolf like we would love a dog. What is different about this story is that the wolf's spirit returns to uplift her during tragic times. I read it in two days and loved it!
The best time to read this is when you grab the hot cocoa and get comfy in front of the fireplace. I have a few favorite scenes, but if I had to choose one, I would say the 16 foot long whip fight between Jess and the alpha wolf tops all the others, it's like 3D!
Great main character and others too. Well written, captivating, exciting, harsh reality mixed with ghostly spirits and unconditional, eternal love.
Realistic yet mystical. Brutal yet tender, this wolf was awesome! He had to be the bravest wolf that ever lived with fight scenes that were so compelling. An enjoyable read that I recommend to others!
Unlike any wolf story I have ever read, good in every way.
I feel like im gona cry. THAT WAS SO SAD!!! *cries loudly*
Good read. Definately worth it.
Although I also felt the writing was stilted and perhaps not the most polished I have read, I did enjoy this true story told by a family member. We may not all be Shakesphere but I think there are lessons to be learned in others lives.
I cared about the characters and I felt an emotional experience in this down to earth portrayal of a seemingly simple woman and her friend who overcame the odds during the cruelest of times.
I enjoyed the story.

/// We're Holiday Shopping Online With iPads for iPads
With all the hyped hullabaloo around just how mobile-icious we are this holiday season — yes, it's up, but it is also a retailer-cooked trend that reporters grab onto amid the news drought of the Thanksgiving weekend — one of the many statistics spewed out by a variety of sources was rather interesting. According to IBM, in a report titled "The iPad Factor": "The [Apple] iPad generated more traffic than any other tablet or smartphone, reaching nearly 10 percent of online shopping. This was followed by iPhone at 8.7 percent and [Google] Android 5.5 percent. The iPad dominated tablet traffic at 88.3 percent followed by the Barnes & Noble Nook at 3.1 percent, Amazon Kindle at 2.4 percent and the Samsung Galaxy at 1.8 percent." And, over at eBay and its PayPal unit — which spewed out all kinds of data on mobile transactions that showed volume was between two and three times greater, mostly on Apple devices — the company noted that one of its bestselling items on Black Friday was the iPad 2, selling 250 per hour from 12 am to 8 am PT. That tracks on an earlier survey by Nielsen with 48 percent of U.S. children 6 to 12 years old asking for the iPad, followed by iPod touch (36 percent), iPad mini (36 percent) and iPhone (33 percent). Presumably, which will be used to order more. Here's a lovely IBM chart explaining it all: IBM Holiday Benchmark Infographic BF2012

3 nts Serengeti Safari Camp located near either Grumeti or Mara rivers
Small exclusive tented camps (just 6 tents) ...
From the bustling north Tanzanian town of Arusha to the little gem of Tarangire National Park. The mountain landscapes give way to the arid Acacia & Baobab of the Maasai steppe: this is rich big game country and ripe for exploring. Overnight Kuro Tarangire
From our stylish tented camp, we can walk straight into the bush in search of giraffe or zebra, game drive over to the Silale swamp where the eles hang out or look for big cats under cover of a night drive. We love that our little patch of Tarangire is remote yet in the middle of the action. Overnight Kuro Tarangire.
From Tarangire, drive up to the lush Ngorongoro Highlands where forests, monkeys, coffee farms and lush gardens are the norm. You might stop off for a picnic and game drive in Manyara National Park en route.

Discuss the day's activities with your guide over a camp breakfast; he'll know the whereabouts of the migration and all the other creatures of interest. Sometimes the herds are spread throughout the Nyamalumbwa and Bologonja plains and sometimes they are frantically crossing the Mara River. Wherever they are, our camp will be well located for the action. Overnight Serengeti Safari Camp
An early start today, perhaps with a picnic breakfast or lunch in search of the great herds. Of course it's not all about the wildebeest and you'll be on the look out for elephant, buffalo, big cats and even rhino. Linger when you find something of interest as so much of the pleasure of this place is the freedom you feel being in the middle of nowhere. Return to camp for a hot shower and delicious meal.

In this paper we consider the general cone programming problem, and propose primal-dual convex (smooth and/or nonsmooth) minimization reformulations for it. We then discuss first-order methods suitable for solving these reformulations, namely, Nesterov's optimal method (Nesterov in Doklady AN SSSR 269:543–547, 1983; Math Program 103:127–152, 2005), Nesterov's smooth approximation scheme (Nesterov in Math Program 103:127–152, 2005), and Nemirovski's prox-method (Nemirovski in SIAM J Opt 15:229–251, 2005), and propose a variant of Nesterov's optimal method which has outperformed the latter one in our computational experiments. We also derive iteration-complexity bounds for these first-order methods applied to the proposed primal-dual reformulations of the cone programming problem. The performance of these methods is then compared using a set of randomly generated linear programming and semidefinite programming instances. We also compare the approach based on the variant of Nesterov's optimal method with the low-rank method proposed by Burer and Monteiro (Math Program Ser B 95:329–357, 2003; Math Program 103:427–444, 2005) for solving a set of randomly generated SDP instances.

What do you Amare fans thinking. Boozer is a better ALL around player then Amare. Amare is aweful at defense. But on the other hand i wouldnt mind having him and booz along side of each other.

Todd seems to have it right today.
Most teams are struggling financially. In seasons past players that are available such as Bosh, LeBron, Amare, Boozer, DWade would have been snapped up and been members of franchises like the Knicks or Lakers as historically they are used to buying championships. This year all bets are off.
the salary cap has teams perplexed and so you have players like TMac very much available but owners are counting their shekels and wondering how competitive they really have to be.
The Jazz are very fortunate to have 2 all stars on their team plus a great supporting cast. Only teams like the Lakers have 3-4 very high quality players. Were the Jazz to trade they need to find someone of the higer caliber and beyond the names already mentioned here the pool of great players gets really shallow in a hurry.
The Jazz have proven they can score with anyone in the league, and they have been sucessful lately in defending as well but they still would love to have help inside on defense. There are few players that could help the Jazz and fewer yet that would consider playing for them.

Doug, I will admit something. I admit I was pretty upset in the off season
watching all these players change to other teams and we did not make a move.
The more I am watching the majority of these players that have been moved either through the stats, info on these pages or watching games on the computer with League Pass, the LESS I AM IMPRESSED WITH THESE GUYS and find no BIG DIFFERENCE the majority of the time I check it out.
I would agreee a good selective trade would be good. You at least have admitted the same along with Jesse and some others.
Example: Richard Jefferson
what has he done little
Tyson Chandler?
Injured or Little
Andre Miller?
One lucky game of 52 points, 7 out of 10 games bad or indifferent
so little
Ho Hum
After slow start and looking out of place in New Orleans he has come on. Maybe he is the one I regret not getting. i think with him we would be 2nd behind the Lakers
He is good-how much better than Booz though?
You can have him

I'd like to see them trade Okur for a big defense-oriented center and resign Boozer. Against most teams, play Boozer at center, Millsap at PF, Kirilenko at SF. Against teams that are too big for that line-up, play the defense minded center and rotate the other three. Won't happen, but I think it would be a better team.

Secretary of the Moscow Patriarchate Commission, which regulates student exchange, Fr John Kopejkin has accompanied the delegation of St. Vladimir's Seminary.
Bodily fasting for the soul's benefit17. December 2013 - 10:05
The Nativity fast begins on November 14/27, and lasts forty days. The Nativity fast is not as strict as Great Lent or the Dormition fast, and can be compared to the Apostle's fast. It was instituted by the Church so that we would worthily greet the feast of the Nativity of Christ after having cleansed our hearts by prayer and repentance.
The establishment of the Nativity fast, like many other long fasts, dates back to the early days of Christianity. Already in the fourth century, St. Ambrose of Milan, Philastrius, and Blessed Augustine recall the Nativity fast in their works. St. Leo the Great wrote about the antiquity of the Nativity fast in the fifth century.
International Scientific Conference – "The Cyrillo-Methodian Tradition, the Language and the Mission of the Church in the XXI Century"10. December 2013 - 11:42
At the Orthodox Theological Faculty of the University in Belgrade, on 6 December 2013 there was held an International Scientific Conference "The Cyrillo-Methodian Tradition, the Language and the Mission of the Church in the XXI Century".
Before the beginning of the great scientific conference, His Grace Bishop Irinej of Backa celebrated the Hierarchal Divine Liturgy at the chapel of Saint John the Theologian. The dean of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology protopresbyter-stavrophor Professor Dr. Predrag Puzovic opened the conference and Bishop Irinej and protopresbyter-stavrophor Professor Dr. Vladimir Vukasinovic delivered addresses. Director of the Office for Cooperation with Traditional Churches and Religious Communities Dr. Mileta Radojevic also attended the opening ceremony.
Religious Freedoms from the Orthodox Christian perspective4. November 2013 - 14:22
Protodeacon Radomir Rakic, Serbian Orthodox Church
It is not in the spirit of Eastern Christianity to formulate relations between people primarily in view of certain rights and obligations. The Orthodox prefer to speak about relations that are "appropriate and corresponding". These relations originate from a common experience of Christians as members of Christ's Kingdom. They express our common understanding of the Kingdom of God, and in life they are implemented by the growth of the person according to the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27) into the condition of deification (Greek Theosis) becoming more like God.
Homily on the feast of the Protection of the Mother of God17. October 2013 - 13:50
For those who celebrate the commemoration of the miraculous appearance of the Protecting Veil of the Mother of God, nothing could be more joyous than if we announced that this grace-filled Protection is spread even over us. But who could be the bearer of these glad tidings? Whose eye is capable of seeing the Most Holy Intercessor, "in the air, praying to Christ for us?" There are no obvious mystical seers like blessed Andrew and Epiphanius among us; and the hidden mysteries known only to the Lord will remain hidden unto the ages.
Nevertheless, we also, standing now in church, are not without a witness. In fact, it is the most reliable testimony that the Protection of the Most Blessed Virgin is spread also over us. Who is this witness? Not an earthly person, not even an angel, but our Protectress herself! With boldness and surety I say this on Her behalf; for isn't Her holy and miracle working icon, which we see in this church, the constant, visible pledge of Her invisible protection?... We know from the history of miracle-working icons that in times of heaven's wrath against human sins, these icons suddenly hid themselves and appeared in other places, or disappeared entirely. Therefore, as long as our Protectress does not abandon her place here, as long as she does not deprive her image of the grace-filled power of working miracles, as long as she receives our prayers and grants us timely help—we can, despite all our impurity, maintain a steadfast assurance that we are under her grace-filled Protection.

WASHINGTON, April 9 Comcast's deal to buy rival Time Warner Cable will be good for consumers, rather than negative, and will result in no lost competition, Comcast Executive Vice President David Cohen said in a U.S. Senate hearing on Wednesday.
"If this transaction is approved, it will give us the scale and reach to innovate and compete against our national and global competitors," Cohen told lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"The transaction will not lead to any reduction in competition or consumer choice in any market," he said. "While this transaction will make us bigger, that's a good thing, not a problem." (Reporting by Diane Bartz and Alina Selyukhl; Editing by Doina Chiacu)

Meeting on DMSO reveals studies of old 'wonder drug' are resuming
Even its most enthusiastic promoters concede that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), the drug that slips through the dermal barrier with remarkable ease, was probably discovered and used too soon.If it had come along later, when standards for clinical trials were a little more strict, perhaps it would have fared better.Perhaps.Partly, it was a case of bad luck. Somewhere back there in the 1960s, there came to be too much talk about this "wonder drug"—and too little carefully controlled experimentation. At one point, a single pharmaceutical company had the drug in the hands of 553 clinical investigators; more than 100,000 patients are estimated to have received DMSO in 1964 and 1965. Word got out, and people began rubbing the industrial grade of DMSO (also used as a solvent of paints and plastics) on their skin for a variety of ailments

Mission Opportunities
|June 19 - July 1
|Bay Leaf Baptist Church has been working in Kenya since 1998. Our work is through partnerships with national pastors. We have worked with many tribes including the Gusi, the Luo, the Kamba, and the Maasai. Our focus is evangelism and discipleship. This includes the training of pastors and church leaders. In addition we have partnered with a number of schools and orphanages. We have also provided medical clinics, and water projects.
|July 1 - July 15
|Bay Leaf Baptist Church has made several trips to Thailand over the years. Currently, we are focused on a ministry in the Chiang Mai area in northern Thailand. We have partnered with Chiang Mai Acts of Grace Church, and Grace International School. These partnerships allow us to work with street children as well as students in the school. We have a wonderful partnership with a Thai orphanage in Chiang Mai.
Canada Mission Trips
|Port Elgin, Canada - Soccer
|July 4 - 8
|Port Elgin, Canada - Track and Field
|July 18 - 22
|Born from a burden of our members, Canadian-born, Lynne and Bill Hudson, we seek to take the Gospel to the western part of Ontario, near Lake Huron. Our relationship in Canada began in 2007 with our first team going in the summer of that year to offer a sports camp and Vacation Bible School. We have partnered with local churches in the Port Elgin area to offer sports camps and VBS to children ages five to twelve. In 2013 we partnered with Evergreen Ministries to offer a camp in Stayner, Ontario. The Lord has truly blessed as we have worked with other Christians to take the Gospel to this part of Canada. This trip is wonderful for families to experience missions together. Every family member will have a role, no matter the age or spiritual gift. Individuals and couples of any age can grow in their walk with the Lord through the support of Bay Leaf and Canadian Leaders.

five finger australia shoes cheap Do I have to stop wearing heels Roshini Raj tackles your most personal and provocative questions. Send to Dr. Bunions form when bone grows abnormally at the base of the big toe in the joint between your toe and foot. As they develop, they turn the big toe inward toward the smaller toes, and the enlarged joint can become inflamed, red, and painful. Women tend to have more trouble with bunions than men, thanks in part to our love affair with tough on the tootsies footwear. A recent study said most of us wear shoes a size too small! Make sure any style you wear provides at least half an inch of space between the end of your longest toe and the shoe tip. The shoe should conform to the shape of your foot and be comfortable across the widest part. How you walk could also be part of the problem: Placing too much stress on the big toe or the inside of your foot can cause bunions, along with a host of other problems, like back pain. If your bunions hurt, see a podiatrist: She may suggest special padding to stop the irritation and abrasion and/or anti inflammatory medication or cortisone injections to reduce the swelling and pain. Orthotic shoes or inserts may also help by keeping your feet in the ideal position as you walk. I had 1 done at a time and was on crutches for 6 weeks each time. My podiatrist used pins that would be pulled out at the end of 6 weeks so nothing is still in my foot. My feet still ache at times if it going to rain or if I been on my feet too long, but not too often anymore. (I had the last surgery done almost 6 1/2 years ago when it was becoming painful to walk) April 23, 2011 at 13:37 Report abuse Think before you start typing, if possible. Yes, they cost a fair amount, about eighty dollars, but not an overwhelming amount. I don exactly have a lot of money, and could afford them. And the only time I heard of them wearing out in six months would be if someone ran several miles a day or something. So you would only be paying an average of maybe a little less than eight dollars a month with regular use for more comfort and less foot problems. A cellphone bill would normally be at least triple that. April 23, 2011 at 23:37 Report abuse After 25 years in high heels, my bunion pain was bad enough to get the bunion surgery got both feet done one year apart. I think it was worth it, regardless of the nasty scars on both feet. I didn think the surgery pain was bad at all it was more difficult to be on crutches for 6 weeks and not be able to drive for 3 months after my right foot was operated on. Couldn have gotten through it all without the help of my husband. But there are many different types of surgeries that don have the lengthy recovery time that I had. BTW, surgery was done by an Orthopaedic specialist not podiatrist. Good luck with your decision, Maria. April 22, 2011 at 22:26 I would also recommend an orthopedic surgeon for the procedure. There are a lot of good podiatrists out there, but many of them are quacks and don necessarily have the surgical experience that an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in foot and ankle problems. Don to a sports doctor or an ortho who specializes in backs, just feet. I have a bunion but fortunately it only flares up occasionally. I live with it now and hopefully won have to have surgery. This is no offense to Kelly you may be one of those qualified podiatrists. This is just my opinion. May 4, 2011 at 18:46 Report abuse The twisting rotational deformity of bunions isn just a foot problem, but often the result of the entire chain of bones twisting inward from tight/weak hip muscles. Go to a yoga class that focuses on alignment, hip opening and balance to watch the undoing of that twist. We sit too much, breathe to shallowly which tightens the pelvic floor and then wonder why our hips/knees/feet collapse in same pattern, over and over. Don believe me, try it and decide for yourself. April 23, 2011 at 09:27 My mom has heinous bunions that are starting to cause her a lot of pain. I remember a woman who taught a class in college who wore these orthopedic shoes and told us all about her multiple surgeries and it was all because she wore high heeled shoes and damaged her feet. She told us to be careful what kind of shoes we wore. I never forgot that, but I also didn know bunions were hereditary. I glad I took that lady advice and always chose function over fashion. April 23, 2011 at 20:42 I inherited bunions from my father side of the family. I am a teacher and constantly being on my feet for hours at a time made them very painful. So, after 3 years of teaching, I used my summer break two years in a row to have the surgery done on each foot. I was on crutches for the first few days, but I was able to walk short distances by the end of the first week. I wore a surgical boot for 4 weeks and then tennis shoes, though flip flops were more comfortable if I wasn walking far. I was cleared for mild exercise by the end of 8 weeks. The hardest part for me was when I had my right foot done because I couldn drive for almost 6 weeks. I do have scars, but they aren extremely noticeable. I take pins and scars over painful feet any day!

Very entertaining.
For some odd reason, I found this to be hilarious and highly enjoyable. The animation was really good, I like the way you draw people, the lip sync was caught up to speed as well. The voices were well done, I like how you made it sound like you actually were trying to talk underwater. Some music or something in the underwater scene or credits may have added some viewer capability and made the flash more entertaining, but that's just my opinion.
I like the random humor in there too, like when the turd knocked the boy into the water, and that last scene was so ridiculous I couldn't help but laugh. The storyline was a bit confusing, but I was eventually caught up to speed by the middle of the movie. Another good movie from you my man, keep it up, I expect great things from you!
Thanks :D

Stroke Health Center
Stroke - Symptoms
If you have symptoms of a stroke, call 911 or other emergency services right away. General symptoms of a stroke include:
- Sudden numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of movement in your face, arm, or leg, especially on only one side of your body.
- Sudden vision changes.
- Sudden trouble speaking.
- Sudden confusion or trouble understanding simple statements.
- Sudden problems with walking or balance.
- A sudden, severe headache that is different from past headaches.
Symptoms can vary depending on whether the stroke is caused by a blood clot (ischemic stroke) or bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke), where the stroke occurs in the brain, and how bad it is.
Recommended Related to Stroke
Understanding Stroke -- Diagnosis and Treatment
You should consider these symptoms warning signs and consult your health care provider or call 911 right away: Sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm, or leg on one side of the body. Abrupt loss of vision, strength, coordination, sensation, speech, or the ability to understand speech. These symptoms may become worse over time. Sudden dimness of vision, especially in one eye. Sudden loss of balance, possibly accompanied by vomiting, nausea, fever, hiccups, or trouble with swallowing...
Read the Understanding Stroke -- Diagnosis and Treatment article > >
A stroke usually happens suddenly but may occur over hours. For example, you may have mild weakness at first. Over time, you may not be able to move the arm and leg on one side of your body.
If several smaller strokes occur over time, you may have a more gradual change in walking, balance, thinking, or behavior. This is called multi-infarct dementia.
It isn't always easy for people to recognize symptoms of a small stroke. They may mistakenly think the symptoms can be attributed to aging. Or the symptoms may be confused with those of other conditions that cause similar symptoms.

BT Broadband review 2016
BT is the oldest and most popular broadband provider in the UK. It has a wide range of broadband services, and you can add BT Sport along with several other extras.
However, it doesn't offer the fastest broadband, and its fibre service, BT Infinity, isn't available everywhere. There are also activation fees.
Cable.co.uk rating
Pros and cons
- Widest coverage in UK
- Some plans are truly unlimited
- Save money with line rental saver
- Add TV and phone packages
- Plenty of extras including BT Sport
- Below average customer service
- Activation fee with fibre
- It comes with line rental
- BT Infinity isn't available everywhere
- Charges if you go over your capped usage
What we like
Cheap introductory prices and up to £200 back
For a limited time only and exclusive to Cable.co.uk, those looking to join BT can enjoy reduced monthly prices for 12 months and claim up to £200 back; £150 on a BT Reward Card (prepaid card) plus a further £50 cheque. Ka-ching!
This incredible offer from BT ends midnight Thursday 28th July so find out more about about how to claim it before it's too late.
Widest coverage in UK
BT standard broadband is available to over 99% of UK homes and businesses. Its fibre optic broadband service, BT Infinity, is available to 68% of the population. If you're in an area that can't get BT broadband you may want to consider other providers, such as Virgin Media.
Some plans are truly unlimited
Truly unlimited usage lets you download as much as you like without any restrictions. Unlike a plan with a usage limit, you won't be charged extra for exceeding an allowance. Furthermore, BT has no traffic management. This means your broadband speed won't slow down during busy hours.
Save money with BT's line rental saver
You have to pay line rental. This costs £18.99 per month. You can save by paying for 12 months in advance with the line rental saver. This costs £205.08, and has to be paid upfront. You can add it when you join or upgrade.
Add TV and phone to any broadband package
Bundling several services can be cheaper than purchasing them from different providers. BT has numerous TV packages and several call plans. You can add them to both standard broadband and BT Infinity. If you don't add them when you join, you can upgrade later.
Plenty of extras including BT Sport
If you take BT TV with BT broadband you get four BT Sport channels for free. These are BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2, ESPN, and BT Sport Europe. If you take BT broadband but don't take BT TV, you will have to pay £5 per month to get the four BT Sport channels.
BT operates five million wi-fi hotspots in the UK and a further three million in international locations. You can use BT's wi-fi as much as like, for free, without using your internet allowance. You can also get a BT Mobile SIM. These BT SIM-only plans last for 12 months and come with a set amount of minutes, texts and data.
Featured deals
Compare BT broadband deals
BT broadband has the widest coverage in the UK. However, there are some areas that can't get it. BT standard broadband covers 99% of the population, while BT Infinity (fibre broadband) covers 68%. Our availability checker will tell you if you can get it.
What we don't like
Below-average customer service
The quality of BT's customer service has declined in recent years. In Ofcom's latest customer satisfaction survey it scored below average for landline and broadband.
Activation fee with fibre
This only applies to BT's fibre package – BT Infinity 1. The activation fee includes the charge for an engineer to visit the street cabinet (the green box) and in some cases carry out work in your home.
It comes with line rental
Line rental costs £18.99 per month. However, you can save money by paying for 12 months upfront with the line rental saver. You can add this scheme when you upgrade or join BT.
BT Infinity isn't available everywhere
BT's fast fibre optic service, BT Infinity, is limited to certain areas, covering two thirds of the UK population. If you're unable to receive BT broadband, take a look at other providers, such as Virgin Media.
Charges apply if you go over your capped usage
Capped packages come with a usage limit. This can restrict how much you can do online. If you exceed your allowance you'll be charged for every 5GB you use. If you regularly download content, you may want to upgrade to a package with unlimited usage.
How fast is BT Broadband?
BT offers speeds of up to 76Mbps. That's fast enough to stream a dozen high definition (HD) films at once. Upload speeds are also high, allowing you to conduct video calls and stream live video from your home computer without interruption.
Advertised speeds are just an estimate speed you can get. However, Ofcom's reports give you an actual speed you can expect. So how fast is BT really? Let us explore….

Download speed
Download speeds determine how long it takes for content to transfer to your computer from the internet. Download speeds are measured in megabits per second (Mbps), and BT's premium broadband package offers a download speed of up to 76Mbps. However, according to Ofcom, you can expect to get between 59.9Mbps and 63.1Mbps.
Upload speed
Upload speeds determine how long it takes to transfer content from your computer to the internet. Whether you're uploading a picture to Facebook, a video to YouTube or posting a tweet, speed will affect how long it will take. BT's top upload speed is 19Mbps. According to Ofcom's report, in reality you can expect to get an upload speed around 16Mbps.

BT Sport is free to all customers who take a BT TV package with broadband. If you just take broadband on its own, you'll get one channel free (BT Sport 1) or can pay £5 per month to get BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2, BT Sport Europe and ESPN to watch via the app and online player.
Bundles require an activation fee
All BT TV bundles require an activation fee. However, if you move house you won't need to pay again.

All BT Infinity broadband packages
Don't forget, Cable.co.uk now produces in-depth BT broadband reviews, so don't forget to check them out if you need more information.
BT Hub router
To get online you need a broadband router. There are two BT routers available: BT Home Hub 4 for standard broadband, and BT Smart Hub for BT Infinity. Both come with four ports for wired connections, and wi-fi for your smartphones and tablets.
It's free, but you have to pay for delivery. If you upgrade to BT Infinity from standard broadband, you might have to pay to get the BT Smart Hub. Here's what you need to know…
Is it any good?
Standard broadband comes with the Home Hub 4
The Home Hub 4 is BT's entry-level router. In addition to four ports for wired connections (yellow ports on the back), it also comes with dual band wi-fi. This reduces wireless interference, giving you a reliable signal that is password-protected. Parental controls are included.
BT Infinity comes with the Smart Hub
It's similar to the Home Hub 4, but is better suited for fibre (BT Infinity). It can handle speeds of up to 1,000Mbps, thanks to the four fibre ports (GigE). It comes with a USB port too. Set up is easy and it comes with in-built protection.
They're free with BT broadband
While it's free, there is a delivery charge. If you're an existing BT customer intending to upgrade from standard broadband to BT Infinity will also get the Smart Hub for free.
BT Hub 4 Specifications:
- 802.11n dual band 5GHz & 2.4GHz wireless
- 1x Gigabit Ethernet, 3x 10/100 Ethernet
- WPA / WPA2 & WPS security
- USB 2.0 port
BT Smart Hub Specifications:
- 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless
- Integrated VDSL modem
- 4x Gigabit Ethernet
- WPS and WPA/WPA2 security
- USB 2.0 port
How to save money with BT
BT offers packages for standard and fibre broadband (BT Infinity). These come with extras, including BT Sport and free public wi-fi. The packages can be quite pricey, but that doesn't mean you can't save along the way.
You can save by downgrading your package or haggling to get a better deal. Here are our tips…
Pay your line rental in advance
All BT broadband packages come with line rental, which is an added cost to your monthly bill. BT's line rental costs £18.99 per month. However, you'll be able to save by paying for 12 months in advance with the line rental saver. This is available to new and existing customers and involves a one-off fee of £205.08. That's equivalent to £17.09 a month.
Downgrade your broadband
BT offers three download speeds: 17Mbps, 52Mbps and 76Mbps. If you live in a large household that's constantly online, 52Mbps Mbps is more than enough. However, 17Mbps is often sufficient. You'll be able to carry out the same online activities and connect several computers without difficulty.
Tell BT you're leaving
If you're an existing BT customer and you're coming to the end of your contract, you won't be tied to the company. This is the best time to save money and tell BT that you would like to leave. Make sure you do your research beforehand and see what other competitors have to offer. BT may be able to match the price, throw in some freebies or give you a better deal.
