Currently paying 35.49 a month

broken down

14.60 line rental (BT)

4.90 anytime call package (BT)

15.99 broadband (Plus net)

I get:

Anytime calls (obviously)
80gb usage a month
cannot get fibre optic in my area yet anyway so 14mb download speed


Any provider that I can combine all my services with and get the same or better for less money?

Not really interested in TV services - that will only bump up the cost and not really interested unless they are included for no more than I'm paying right now.


Cheers
 
go to samknows.com and check to see what operators are present at your exchange.

Post Office does home phone and broadband for £26 a month (inc rental) and uses BT network with a 100gb FUP so that might be worth a look.

add £4.50 for anytime calls (if you really need them).

If you can get Sky at your exchange, you can get their TV (All packages bar Sport and Movies), Line Rental , Unlimited Fast Broadband for what your paying now.

If you do sign up please remember to give the referall bonus to someone (Hint hint :))

hi, thanks for the info but couldn't find a package that came close to my monthly cost offering the same? are you able to provide a link
 
By the way are Talk talk any good or not so much as quite a few review2s report?


at the moment its between sky ( with no TV) and Talk Talk

Talk talk are a bit cheaper but Ive heard they're pretty useless with customer service - is this true?

If you go via Quidco you can get £100+ cashback, take that off subscription and your quids in :D , and then yearly threaten to quit, get a reduction, rinse and repeat.

For example I have just upgraded to Sky Fibre which should have cost me £12.75 a month extra, did the I am quitting bit and got it for free

Worst CS I ever had to deal with. I'm with them they promised me 14mb down from a 24mb package and the real speed I got in the end was 8mb... :mad: They trapped us into an 18 month contract and said they would fix it ,they did for a while have it up to 12mb and like magic a week later they dropped it back down.. Stay clear of them if you can and find a different provider in your area. Unless you like to deal with other countries that can't speak english trying to tell you that your pc is the problem lool... Funny how the router states the correct connection speed I get on the pc... but my pc and all devices I have are the problem.. Do yourself a favour and don't fund this company, the minute the 18 months is up i'm canceling.

Have you actually checked you can get their services?

Don't go with talktalk directly, but there's resellers which are great, and the support you get is second to none.
 
£12.75 sky line rental
£7.50 bb (if you take talk)
£5.00 unlimited calls
£25.25 total

the tv basic package is £20 but for 6 months its £10
 
Are you out of contract with BT? if so give them a ring on 0808 1002425 & tell them your thinking of switching providers & see what they offer you!
 
I've now switched to Sky broadband and talk - decided to leave the Sky Television as Im trying to cut down my bills and Im not really all that fussed about having sky.

Got a 6months free deal meaning my first year total cost will now be:

£237 and thats with unlimited broadband and unlimited anytime calls

and following years (providing prices don't change) = £327 still a massive saving over before

compared with

£425.88 I was paying before with only 80gb usage a month


so all in all a result.

Thanks
