    Hi Cloverfan
    Sky line rental is £11 per month and you get free evening and weekend calls with this; with Sky Talk. Which broadband option is available depends on your postcode; do a search under sky postcode checker.

    You need to advise what broadband and phone package she is currently on. £30 per month for line rental and call package is absurdly high, it should be around £16-£17.
    Broadband price will depend on what service she is on and what exchange.
    Are you even sure that the current arrangements are out of contract?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
