Internet and Phone Package

Hi,

I am looking for a cheaper broadband provider and cheaper phone calls is there any companies that sell both products together or am I better to use seperate companies? Fed up with paying BT loads of money !

Thanks anybody out there.

  • I am with Nildram.net and have the basic broadband ie one address. That costs about £15/month - very good support.

    When I started digging into my phone costs, I discovered that Nildram are offering 500 FREE minutes/month to landlines, if the user has broadband with their phone package. As I was with BT till a couple of weeks ago, I calculated that the 500 free minutes were worth about £15/month. I can't believe I have been so dumb, not to spot this before :o .

    In essence, if you are coming off BT, you get broadband for free (assuming you have a phone bill of around £100/quarter) :p .

    I have since bought and installed an Orchid dialler to attack the other parts of my phone bill.

    Nildram dont supply line rental, so you would still need to keep your line rental with BT.
    PF.
  • Yes, I factored that into the equation - £10.50 to BT/month. That gave me roughly £75/quarter or £25/month to play with.

    Most of my calls were to landlines, so that helped me make my mind up faster.

    I put the Orchid in just in case we go over the top of 500 mins/month and to catch the dreaded 0870 and mobile calls with 18185 now.
