I'd like to chage my broadband, its like wading through treacle getting the fact & figures so I though I'd cheat and ask instead

Who do you use & what do you think about service cost etc??

Signed up for Talktalk. Already had my calls with them on a BT line. Whole package seemed a really good deal - around £18 per month for line rental, call package and broadband. Took ages to process and receive my broadband router, but now up and running. Very happy so far

First I would get a line test to see how fast a link you can get its no good paying for a 15MB if your own line will only support 4MB.

Personally I would go Cabel if you have it in your area.

if you have cable in your area then give virgin a ring,or look up what deals they have running on the net,then you can get a more informed view of things,we found them a lot cheaper than bt,and more for the money as well,we are into our 2nd year,and are very pleased.
their web site has a part,were you can find out if you have a conection in your area,

Hi All, I have gone for Orange, £22 per month with a second line through the live box giving me free calls anytime including to europe. Broadband speed is 4.2meg which is twice as fast as what I have. I know thier mobile phone signal is pants here at home but you cannot beat thier customer service. They couldn't do TalkTalk here in the back of beyond without bumping up the cost as BT have been creative with the 'phone lines [doubleing them up etc]

Cheers for all the help

If you have a mobile on a contract, it's worth seeing if you get offered any deals through them - we have an Orange contract phone so we can get free broadband from them. It has a 10Gb per month download limit, so we pay a bit extra - having Xbox Live means 10Gb is not enough, but for ordinary internet use it's enough. Our phone is still with BT, because we got messed about so much with TalkTalk that it was easier to go back.

Hi Sarzwix, I do have a mobile contract with them and had the free broadband, upgraded to the live box at a discounted rate and at the same time changed my mobile to a lower cost plan, got a new 'phone [Nokia 5800] I'll let you all know if its as cheap as they make out to be They always make these things sound like a win win deal, we'll see

I wish you could have BB and not have the fixed land line...we never use ours...as we all have mobiles.

We use Virgin for broadband, tv and phone package. It is reasonably priced in line with most others and get good service on the rare occasion there is a problem. Calls are free to help centre from Virgin phone too.
