Can recommend TalkTalk package. Been with them for well over a year now and no complaints!

You have to use BT for the line rental(there is no other option in NI), but this can be purchased via another company such as Talk Talk as stated by Maguim, ive also used them in the past for calls and broadband with no complaints. At present I use BT for line rental and my calls, and have Plus net for Broadband.

BT is expensive for Broadband, check out the link for Broadband on here

odd, i'm sure i've seen people paying line rental to talktalk/tiscali and sky.

If you can get the sky package, i believe it's the best value : line rental, phone bill, sky tv and broadband.
(as long as you stick to the basic sat-tv package and ignore the rest of sky's overpriced rubbish)
but it's only available in some areas of Northern Ireland.

TalkTalk/Tiscali is generally completely discredited after years of diabolically bad customer service.

It's also in Bangor West & Newtownards around the shopping /Town center area since 2003 but yet to be released.
(I worked for NTL as an engineer at the time)
Sky Broadband Tech support is mainly based in Belfast & Londonderry (1st line & TSG outsourced to Teletech.)
