Phone and broadband package

[codswallop]

I am considering changing my provider for the above.I'd welcome any ideas as to who to keep away from and who are ok for service.If you read their ads everything they do is perfect,but we all know that is far from true!! At the moment I am using Pipex who are not too bad but expensive but soon they will be taken over by TalkTalk.I'm not sure whether to stay with them!!!Thanks

I'm with BT and pay £31.60 a month for phone line, broadband up to 8mg with unlimited download, and all my calls except to mobiles and premium rate services. For another £4 I could have had BT Vision but wasn't interested........

BT are currently offering B/Band plus evening and w/end calls for £13 per month

I'd like to change too as I am with that awful BT which if my personal experience is anything to go by are so bad and treat customers so poorly they ought not be allowed to continue trading.

But I want to be with a company that bills quarterly and doesn't insist on DD, so choice is limited.

Worth checking out Plusnet - they do some good packages, including Anytime calls for £5/month with 300 international minutes, or £3·50 UK only.

Yorkshire call centre which is free to call.

Not an employee - just a very satisfied customer!

Thanks everyone,I'm just waiting for someone to"slate" TalkTalK,I normally choose the wrong one.

Since you're waiting it - I met an ex colleague the other day, she was in total meltdown and ready to lash out at anybody. She decided to switch to TalkTalk and has been without internet provider for weeks, she needs it for her work.
Btw I am happy with BT, never had any problems

I used to be with Pipex for broadband, BT for phone and Sky for TV. I now have high speed unlimited broadband, telephone including line rental, free UK and international call any time any day and a good family package with no sport or film channels with Sky for around £52.00 per month.
The only difference in the bill month to month is if child one "forgets" not to call mobiles from the landline but I get a fully itemised bill so taxing him is easy.
I'd recommend Sky without hesitation.

Keep away from Talk Talk! (but you should know this already)
I regard AOL as a virus.

(In fact .. stay away from anyone who has featured on Watchdog)
