I checked my bank account and realised that my phone and broadband cost came to around £90 this month. This is crazy as there is just 2 of us, and we are only home at weekends and evenings. Internet is £23 and the BT phone bill makes up the rest. I am free to change and was looking to save some money. I have signed up for 18185 which should cut costs, but would like help with phone and broad band. I do some P2P downloading from time to time and am frustrated with 02's ristrictions. Don't need unlimited broadband but a reasonable amount of download usage.

If you do not have LLU at your exchange then most of the money saving deals will not be available to you.
