Which broadband/Phone provider?

Options
Currently paying BT for basic line rental (free weekend calls only) and O2 for unlimited broadband at £12 a month.

Thinking of switching.

Basically, I want Unlimited Broadband - max speed in my area is 3mb so speed is not an issue!

Thinking of adding telephone calls to the package but not necessary.

I'm also wanting to not pay BT line rental - so an all in 1 package would suit.

My parents are with talk talk and find the service shockingly poor - so that is out!

Thanks!

    if you paying £12 a month for the bt line rental + weekend calls + unlimited broadband then surely thats a great price!

    I pay £13 a month just for broadband for the Old O2 package (O2 Premium 20mb).

    If you switch provider from Bt most companies will charge line rental (but may throw in free evening and weekend minutes).

    Have a google for Plusnet and O2, as both have competitively priced Landline + Broadband and both have received industry recognized awards in the last year.

    Hope this helps

    Are you getting the 02 £5 mobile discount? If not, that will save you £60 per year.
    If you are out of minimum term contract, call O2 and you should be able to negotiate at least a £2.50 pm loyalty discount in return for another 12m.
    If you try to add 02 home phone and line rental, then you will be switched off your unlimited legacy tariff and onto a traffic shaped one.
