Hi
Im just about to move home and looking to move BB because it is very slow and also the house Im going into has Talk Talk and this has been cancelled, BT cannot connect up a new line for 10 days, then reconnecting to Orange will take ... ?
Currently have BT line at £12.50 and orange broadband £10 which is cheap but very slow. Have Sky inc sports package. All contracts I guess I can get out of because had for over 12 months.
Cant use Virgin for the Sky as cable not avail, but they could do BB
Any advice where I can go for best option of more speed at a better cost, I dont need phone calls
Thanks

Hi
As you have a Sky package have you spoken to them? Line rental is £11.00 and you would get free evening and weekend calls. You would also get £5.00 off any of their broadband packages. Do a search on Sky postcode checker to see what's available in your area. You would have to speak to them to see if there would be any connection charges
Hope this helps.MFW 2025 #50: £259.20/£6000
18/01/25: Mortgage: £68,500.14
27/12/24: Mortgage: £69,278.38

I'd use This is Money .com's broadband comparison. Go on their site and then click on the broadband comparison icon. you can search by postcode and phone number which helped me because I live in the middle of nowhere and most sites quote a deal to me that later turns out to be unavailable in my area! Best of luck0
