Leaving Orange Broadband
Hey there, Had a quick search and don't think there's a thread on this. I joined Orange Broadband at the end of August.

Who shall I choose for broadband?
I have been with Aol since 1998 and on the whole they have always given me good offers and have been cheaper than anyone else.
