Broadband advice - Orange?

I am looking to move our home broadband from AOL (£15 a month). I am an Orange customer, and I like the Home Max package from Orange, which includes the second phone line for calling abroad. I would also be looking to move phone from BT to Orange. Most of our calls are made abroad ( to countries in the Orange list), so that would save us some money (now we are using 0844 and similar numbers to cut the costs).
However, I have seen some bad words about Orange and started doubting my choice. We are far from exchange (over 3km, Bamber Bridge - LCBAB), so we do not expect a brilliant speed. AOL improved over the last year we are at this house, I have to say.
One thing worrying me is the 18 month contracts - what if we need to move?! I know you nan move the broadband and the phone with you, and we have done it few times already, but every operator is different, right?
From Samknows I can see LLU operators are AOL, O2, C&W, Orange and few others, but which one to choose?

Of those O2 is unquestionably the best Broadband option plus there is usually an excellent amount of cashback via Quidco or TopCashBack. You are allowed one free house move per year. O2 are supposed to be bringing out a phone package soon in the meantime take a look at https://www.call1899.com - I've been using them for years. There are other similar numbers with similar deals.0
