Broadband/phone package

[shnozz]

Currently in the process of a housemove and I want to look at each direct debit I have and update them to the current cheapest and best package.

So, for a decent speed connection, and possibly a joint phone/BB contract (my home phone gets used very rarely) what's out there? Ideally I would like a phone/BB/cable TV package but as far as I know its not available in that area for the TV

Look at www.uswitch.com

It depends entirely on your location but i'd look into cable. Telewest sort us out here in exeter pretty well, 4 meg bb, telephone thats free off peak times, and cable tv for about £36 a month.
BT will do your broadband and phone. Although their broadband for the price is a bit pathetic. Also if you live in a big house you may find that through your normal phone line to wherever in your house the signal may not be strong enough. We had to put Cat 5e through my parents house, BT didn't want to know.

edited to add, Allegedly uswitch.com have been brought into disrepute over some pricing "problems"

If you haven't got cable, you can't get it, so its ADSL instead.

I saw an ad for Pipex offering a phone package plus decent speed BB for £14pcm IIRC.

Might be worth looking UKonline - I think they do 1MB for £9.99.

the pipex deal sounds good as I have been paying £10 for a BT line (virtually unused) and £20 a month BB so less than half that sounds an idea. I like to do a direct debit "audit" when I move to see where I can cut out unnecessary expenses.

Sorry Simpo, ADSL -v- cable is like talking Chinese to me?

i've just move house and BT upgraded my SurfTime (£15 per month) to Broadband (2GB) for no extra cost. some of my colleagues have complained about the service but i've had no problems...
