I don't know the cheapest place online but the cheapest place I found it was Countrywide. And it has lasted really well. My neighbour bought some really cheap stuff online a couple of years and it had rusted apart within 6 months.

Have a look on fleabay Mike - I can't get on there now to check but we got two 50m rolls of really good stuff for £50 - it is still going strong a year later, so I think it is good quality.

Couldn't believe the prices in B&Q - it was about £40 a roll and even that was for the 0.9m stuff - we prefer the 1.2m height.

Just a thought: if the rabbit wire is for rabbits then I have not found it to be rabbit proof. Chicken wire will be if taut.I do accept however that my rabbit is not the norm but it is perhaps worth bearing in mind.
And I find Cornwall Farmers down this way the most reliable and reasonable, or Mole Valley.
