Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance

I was offerred mortgage protection insurance payment from my mortgage lender, but it seems a bit expensive.
I think my work is OK, but I do not worry because there were some people who lost their jobs recently. It seems to be plenty of online mortgage insurance protection on Google UK, but has anyone experienced any companies or more to the point, has anyone been fired and had to ask to their supplier of mortgage insurance protection?

I used Abbey National, but they were a bit expensive. I looked in the help of British insurance I would like used.

I bought my mortgage payment protection insurance (MPPI aka) Council of Insurance Brokers (you can find the http://www.insurance-brokers-council.co.uk). The process was fairly painless and, unfortunately, I had a claim on mine last year after being fired while I talk about the experience firsthand. It was a great relief to find the insurance company very helpful and all the payments went directly into my bank account without a hitch. Also did you know that this policy you can put your application if you have some contract work for temporary or short term
