talk talk essentials

I had a representative come round to my house the other day so I signed up for it. Ive now had a letter from orange double checking with me that i want to leave.

I have my line rental, wireless broadband and home phone from orange.

It costs me £15. There are then the ridiculous charges for 0800 type numbers but apart from that it is quite good.

Ive been thinking of getting rid of landline and wireless completely and using dongle and mobile.

But is there any advantage to TAlk Talk if I did decide to eep my landline and wireless?

Orange has very good reception and is very fast.

    I think doorstep sign ups now have a 7 days cooling off period. May not be too late.

    However, if I was paying £15 for line rental and broadband, there is no way a doorstep cold caller would convince me to change!

    BTW, I think the OP misunderstands charges for 0800 numbers. They are free from all landlines.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
