BT options - beware.

I live in the Highlands of Scotland I don't think Plusnet serves this area.
My mind almost is melting trying to work out which is best - it is all so complicated.

Plusnet are nationwide as are all ISPs that resell the basic BTw product which is all BT Retail (your current ISP) are doing.

1. Plusnet are owned by BT Group.

2. Looked at their prices recently - asked them to come up with a price that suited my needs and usage. They did.

Plusnet could not offer a better deal than that which I then negotiated with BT. I stayed with BT. Simples.

B.T have offered me a deal of £10 @ month - so I think I'll take that. It is so difficult to compare like for like if you want the package - calls & BB.

You still haven't told us what LLU options, if any, are available on your exchange.

Put your number in here.

Yes there seems to be a fair few.
Because BT has offered me bb & the free weekend & evening call thing for £10 @ month for 12months - I think that'll be best - can't really compare like for like as others don't do a package. - Goodness this is complex.
The pakage I'm getting is usually £15 @ month so I suppose I can't complain.
When you get bills that are 4 pages double sided it is difficult to work out what is going on - I mean, '£5.40 processing payment'.

I did once do a direct debit but BT mistakenly took out £80 overcharge out of my bank account & I had to fight to get my own money back. I know it would be cheaper to do a DD but I don't want them in my bank account again.

Is it just me that finds it quite bizzare that you have done nothing but slag off BT, yet seem quite unwilling to do a few minutes research online to enable yourself to get rid of them?
It's perfectly straightforward to compare a bundle of line rental, calls and broadband from different providers, but no-one can assist you further if you don't provide the samknows LLU info, as suggested several times.

> Is it just me

Nope.

Is it just me that thinks you have the patience of a saint?
If I sense a lost cause I just give up and leave them to it.

The Plus Net looked like a goer but when you looked into it it was half speed & okay for first three months then goes up to £16+ @ month.

Orange is dearer & has a really bad reputation from folks I know.

So as long as I'm on the £10 @ month do from BT then that'll do me but after 12 months I will shop around.
The look for your house in the box thing doesn't work here- just like put your street in - what streets?
But apart from that it comes across as loads will be cheaper but they are not when you look into it.

Inbetween I don't rate all the snipes in the background - can hear all the foot tapping & tongue clicking from here.

Half speed? What speed do you get now?
