Cant get Broadband

Sunshine_and_Roses

I want to reduce my internet and phone bills, and possibly get free tv channels if there is a deal available.

At the moment, I am paying £14.99 for dial-up internet with Tiscali, BT say I cant get broadband to my house yet (even though you can a couple of streets away), but it may be possible in the future.

I pay BT option one, and with additional calls (not very many as we all use free minutes on our mobiles), this is £18.00 per month.

Is there any way I can do some combining?

The new BT option packages may be useful to you but try to get a definite statement from BT regarding why you can't get BB at the moment. It could just be a local capacity problem, in which case they should be able to give you a date.

people seem to think that because their neighbour doors down from them has broadband means they can have it, totally depends on your line & its length from the exchange (and the length of the line isnt as the crow flies)

Use the BTw ADSL Availability checker to see what BTw's official line is regarding provisioning ADSL on your line.

If you're stuck with dial-up, have you seen if you can get cable broadband?

If you can't, then look for a cheaper dial-up ISP which has enough hours usage included - some examples:-
Zazizam
SayUK
DialupISP
Flexi-Surf
Free24-7


Take a look at the telephones board for ideas on the phone calls. Take a look at 18185, 1899 & 18866.
