Broadband ISP Advice Needed

Post by **Pushki** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 12:03 pm

Hey guys, I'll be moving house soon and I need to bring my bills down.

I'm currently with BT Infinity Option 2, but I'm led to believe there are better deals out there.

My bill breakdown per month are as follows;

Line Rental = £15.99
BT Answer 1571 = £1.75
Broadband = £28.15
Calls costing over 40p = £2.50 approx.
Total cost per month = £48.39

I have quite a good speed at 23.43 Mbps. Unlimited downloads!

I don't have/need a TV package.

Who are you with, how much does it cost and are they any good?

Many thanks.

With Virgin.
Provided you're in a cable area, they do a broadband only option (no phone line, no TV) which is the cheapest/fastest broadband only option out there.
£26.50 all in, up to 50Mb.
Everyone else drokks you over with needing to pay for a landline that (if you're like me) you don't use or want, because you have a mobile that has unlimited inclusive texts and calls...

Unfortunately if you're not in a cable area, you do need a landline though

Thanks Wurly. That is cheap but I don't have a mobile so I'll need a landline.

im with Plusnet, £14.50 line rental & £19.99 for Fibre

so for about £35 pm I get Fibre (around 75mbps) and weekend calls for free. we don't use the landline as we both have work & personal mobile phones.

Plusnet here too, totally recommend them. They offer discount if your username is quoted on a new signup, so I'm currently getting Line rental, Off peak and weekend Calls, Caller ID, and the top unlimited fibre package for £30 a month

You didn't say where you were moving to @Pushki, but if you're moving to the Bournemouth/Poole area, try Gigler gigabit fibre broadband.
£25.00pm - unlimited.
Faster than a nun's first curry!

"Gigler is not currently available in your area."

Thanks anyway Doug.

I'll investigate Plusnet when I get a chance. Cheers guys.

Virgin probably wouldn't be much more with the phone line included and I have loads of friends on my facebook who could probably get you mates rates

Wow it pays to do the whole play one off another game - as gruelling as that can be. I'm with Virgin and upon renewal I always threaten to leave and go to Sky. No intention at all as I don't fancy a dish on my house.

Latest deal secured last month is:

> Unlimited Broadband - Currently up to 30MB in my area, tested a few times and average around 27MB, which is plenty for my needs.
> Landline - Free Evening & Weekend calls (+1571 voicemail too)
> Cable telly with free Tivo box (great little device) on the M+ package - all basic HD channels free (unlike Sky!), all the usual pause, rewind, recording with lots of memory (never maxed it out yet).

All that little lot for a mere £35.99 a month, that includes the BT line rental. You can make it cheaper if you pay the line rental up front, I did that a couple of times.
