I was considering signing up to madasafish but now I think this is a better offer. How long does it take to sign up to this company and how long before I would be on broadband? Does is company offer good customer service? I never noticed Martin recommending this provider, I wonder why, perhaps I missed his recommendation?

The phone service goes over within about 21 days, not sure about the broadband, I use Telewest myself.

The broadband isn't listed, it's not something they advertise at the moment, but I'm sure a chat to the helpful guys on sales will see you right.

Ntl 2mb unlimited for £9.99........thats the cheapest!

NTL's 2mb Broadband is only £9.99 for the first 3 months, you then have to pay £17.99 a month for the next 9 months, after which you can call their retentions dept and negotiate a reduction, which they will give you if they think that you are going to leave.

First time posting on here, but a member for ages. Love the site.

I don't know if anyone posts feedback on some of these providers regarding their service but I am in the throes of trying to move from Tiscali to Sky.

In a nutshell, I wish I hadn't bothered. Sky are the most cumbersome, lethargic operation I have ever come across. No broadband for 3 weeks and they still cannot get the router to me. Woe betide anyone who happens to miss the 2 attempts they make at delivery. Even if you rearrange as requested, the delivery service send the box back to sky.

From then on, all you will get is continual fobbing off about it being processed for redelivery with absolutely no light at the end of the tunnel.

Oh and an average wait time of 32mins on an 0870 number!!!

This product is complete cr*p.

Hope my experiences may prove useful to others

My calls are currently going through TalkTalk although my line is still with BT, is it still possible for me to get broadband with Primus?

As long as you leave your line rental with BT you can take your bb from anyone and also use a CPS such as Primus.

Would I have to contact TalkTalk and tell them I want my calls changed over to Primus or would Primus sort TalkTalk out?

BexTech

No need to inform TalkTalk, Primus will contact BT who will action the switch, BT will inform TalkTalk you are moving away from them.

Is there any links for Primus? I went to one link mentioned but there is no mention of their BB services
