Broadband only, No telephone or tv

Options
Hello, about to move into a new home..

Me and my gilfriend have TV and 2 good mobile phone contract with plenty of mins.

Is there an option just to have broadband in our house ? we do not live in a cable area. What would be the best broadband with all the line rental included?

    Whichever way you do it, you're going to get stung. The comms utility companies DO NOT like selling broadband on its own so they rip you off. I'm with Virgin and I'm paying just over £20 a month. But as I have no telly and a mobile with hundreds of unused minutes, what's the point in having any other services?

    Broadband is exchange-specific, so do a exchange search on www.samknows.com to see what your LLU options are, these will be the cheapest providers on your exchange. You can't have ADSL broadband without paying line rental. Line rental costs do not vary hugely. Sometimes a bundle is cheaper, sometimes not.

    He said there was no cable in his area.

    Cable is the only option without paying line rental unless you go for mobile broadband.
