Alternative Broadband

Hi

Parents basically dont agree with the £5 increase in SKY bb mid (dont ask!! Me dad simply thinks sky is a rip off) and have now told me they want a new bb. No cable in the area. What is the best one to go for?

Or would you recommend they take out sky talk, even though they didnt seem keen on it when i told them sky are expensive for helpline numbers and more than bt.

Thanks for any help.

    BT internet is not better than sky and starts at £15 so it would be more expensive

    Do they have an 02 phone and live in an LLU area (check on samknows.com) they could get O2 bb for £7.50

    With me hating BT and me dad not liking SKY theres a bit of a disagreement there. They dont have 02 phones. Me dad asked is virgin bb still going (not the cable version).
