Move away from BT??

Hi

Sorry, posted this in Home Phones, but it's more suited over here....

Decided to get on track with my finances, and am starting with my BT account. Currently, I receive my phone and internet service through BT - it used to be 'Option 1', but I think it's now called Unlimited Evening and Weekend.

Basically, every quarter, I am charged £36.89 for phone line rental, £38.27 for broadband service (limited to 10gb per month) and around £27.64 actual call costs (even though we don't use the phone that much...).

Are there cheaper deals out there? I'm particularly keen to move internet providers, as 10gb per month isn't enough for what I need....

Cheers

    Many people now have mobile phone contracts as well as their home phone/broadband package. We have an evening and weekend package for our home phone (not BT) and so save money by using the mobile during the day. For 0870/0845 numbers we search http://saynoto0870.com and then again, use the mobile for the equivalent 01 number given. As 456789 has posted use SamKnows to find out what options apart from BT are available to you.

    Seems quite a varied service. Apparantly Wireless is not available, but Virgin Media Cable broadband is....
