Internet connection advice

[Fred]

I'm looking for advice on internet connection. At the moment I'm stuck with dial-up, but we are looking at moving to where it is available.

So what can you tell me about about getting connected?

I would like:

• Fast internet connection.
  
• WIFI so I can use internet without cables in the house.
  
• Phone preferably keep same number.
  
• Be able to use phone and internet at the same time.
  
• Use two computers at the same time.
  
• Unlimited connection time.
  
• Unlimited upload/download.
  
• Occasional phone calls to France land line & mobiles.
  
• About 1 hour a week phone call to the UK.
  

T.V is not needed as we only watch UK

Do we have to stay with ORANGE or can we go elsewhere?
Do we rent or buy the necessary equipment?
Rough idea of costs?

Any information or advice please.

Thanks.
