New Connection

DannyDrama · 6 Jan 2015 at 12:43

So after the debacle with Sky (no it's not sorted) I'm looking for a new connection. Virgin I don't think is available where I am so I'm pretty much looking at BT or Plusnet. Plusnet want to charge me £75 before I'm even connected (£50 setup fee!) so BT Infinity 1 (£35 setup) is seeming like my best bet.

Just wanted to get some people's thoughts and see if there are any smaller providers I'm missing. :confused:

BT Infinity 1 is 40GB limit I believe.

You're right. Well, whichever one is 30mb and unlimited. Just looked at Zen but they can't tell me online if it's available here. Seems a very good deal to pay £2.50 to double your speed though. It sounds on the site like it's available wherever BT fibre is.

Don't Plusnet waive the activation fee if you have the phone with them as well as the broadband?

It shows on the site as me not having a compatible phone service and tells me I'll need to have that too, no mention of a discount though.

That's strange as I moved a line from sky to plusnet and only had to pay the months line rental and fibre internet for a month plus the delivery charge for the router.

Maybe it's because you moved from Sky? I'm not connected to anything right now according to sky, but they did send me an email at 4.45 this morning saying my router is on the way. You couldn't make it up.
