Hi i'm moving in with my girlfriend in September , her brother and dad also live there, i'm really pleased with my talktalk plan 3 at the moment-free calls,-internet been excellent, there on the BT phone low user deal, her brother on ntl -i want to carry on with talktalk( they only have one phone line-if i took out free deal worth £122 for another line with BT do i have to take out a package with them or can i change my provider to talktalk ) i also want to have a tv in our room -please anyone got any suggestions on what i should do ?

You can't have broadband at all on a BT line with the Light User package. However this scheme is being wound up, so they will have to move up to a more expensive package unless they receive qualifying benefits which will allow them to use BT Basic. (Unlimited Weekend is the cheapest otherwise).
The BT deal requires you to take 12m or 18m line rental with them-why would they install a line free so you can move to TT?
Since her brother is on Virgin, why can't you just come to an agreement to share his cable connection-saving you both some money?

I've been on to talktalk and been told that i can have a new line put in for £59 (phone and internet) not just phone, think that is fantastic

Pretty crazy having 2 BT lines and a cable line in one property though.
What do you mean by £59 for the phone and internet, it comes through the same single line. Rather depends what they are offering you as a monthly charge though. I'm guessing that is an 18m contract, so beware.

Have you thought about getting VOIP?
