I need a constant internet facility at my holiday flat in order to use the
Hive setup to remotely monitor the temperature and to turn the heating on
prior to each visit.

I'm currently paying for a landline plus ADSL broadband at a total cost of
about £250 p.a. (and the ADSL will go up in price when the current
contract ends).

and all this just(?) to turn the heating on before you arrive

I realise that it depends upon how well insulated the property is, but it
would cost me less in gas to keep my flat at a constant, say slightly less
than comfortable 16 degrees, than pay for this telecommunications solution
