Mobile broadband is very expensive over here.
45 euros/month for unlimited which is limited to 1G (!!) or 85 euros per month for 4G. Otherwise it is 15 euros/month for 2h of connection time/month.
All the operators seem to be in a cartel - so pretty much the same deal everywhere.
Otherwise for fixed line broadband I would go for the Darty Box. There are all around 30 euros/month. With Darty the after sales service is better than the others. The deals are all pretty comparable and include unlimited free telephone calls to fixed lines anywhere in Europe, China, US and a few more places. Also TV is included if you are in a "degrouped" area which includes most big towns.
No relation to Darty but that is what I have and they have actually been helpful when called up on the hotline - as opposed to some of the other b*****ds I or my family have used in the past such as Free, Club Internet, Orange, Neuf, ....
Also you can walk into a Darty shop and deal with a human being (you can't with Free, Club Internet, Alice, Neuf etc etc). And for Orange, they will tell you to go an call the hotline.

Our experience has been slightly more positive - we have a mobile account with SFR and a mobile broadband with Orange (the best deals for what we wanted a year ago). All the bl**dy mobile companies are awful and seeking advice in a shop usually means queuing for ages behind lots of other frustrated people - this has been our experience in England, Spain and France.
However, none are nothing like as bad, as near-criminal, as Vodafone UK and Vodafone Spain.
Not even remotely.

I hope you're on PAYG. Vodafone has a propensity (business model?) to siphon incorrect and unauthorised sums from contract customers bank accounts.

If you need to use the www, then we take the laptop to Mac Do's as all of them hve wi-fi (pronounced whiffy by the French.
There are other we-fi connections but not as many as one would like.
