Primus & O2 query

Hi

I’m currently in the process of reviewing my landline, broadband and mobile phone.

At the moment my broadband is with AOL, landline with BT and mobile on Vodafone PAYG. I am not tied into a contract with either AOL or BT. All my landline calls are routed through AOL as the £15 package includes unlimited anytime landline calls.

I was considering taking packages with the following providers and would welcome any advice or opinions before committing to a contract:-

Landline with Primus - £8.99 per month with free evening and weekend UK landline calls – 12 month contract. One question I would ask about Primus is whether I could use an override provider for cheaper daytime calls?

Broadband with O2, basic package - £8 per month for existing customers with first three months free – 12 month contract.

Mobile:- sim only with O2 which would qualify me as an existing customer for the above broadband deal, the £15 per month, 12 month contract option would give me a free bolt on of unlimited UK anytime landline calls.

Incidentally I was considering Zen for the broadband, due to the fact that it is the Which number one best buy, however I just can’t see that it justifies a minimum of £17.99 per month.

Thanks in advance for any advice or opinions offered.

  • I forgot to mention my experience with AOL broadband has not been good to say the least, which was the main reason for me reviewing everything.

    If you can get 02 LLU service on your exchange then it's pretty much a no-brainer decision.
