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
.
In essence, if you are coming off BT, you get broadband for free (assuming you have a phone bill of around £100/quarter)
.
I have since bought and installed an Orchid dialler to attack the other parts of my phone bill.0 -
Nildram dont supply line rental, so you would still need to keep your line rental with BT.PF.0

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.0
