I am with VM and want to change…

I am paying about £35 p/m for 10MB BB (unlimited usage) and 24hr UK calls and line, and I believe this is getting expensive year by year. I am been with VM for 3 years, started off £29 p/m. Also, I am non-wireless modem!

In my location, BT Infinity, hopefully would start in September 2011, and I am thinking of changing it to BT. I am quite sure for the same price I would get a same or better deal, like 20MB or 30MB and 24hrs UK calls.

I do not have a BT line installed at the moment.

Those with experience, is BT worth changing to or other providers, which can offer a better deal?

I consider as BT Infinity is new, it would offer a better deal?

Thanks for your feedback

    The main problem with your VM deal is the expensive telephony and there are a couple of ways around that. You can switch to BT or you cancancel the VM phone and go over to VOIP which is the option I took as after 5 attempts o fix it my BT landline was still virtually unusable for voice calls and the internet was unstable.

    Infinity looks like a good product and if I were you I'd probably wait until it's available and give it a go.

    VM BB only + Vonage anytime UK geographic calls is £21 for 10Mbs / £28.50 for 30Mbps / £35 for 50Mbps /£45 for 100Mbps (if available) + £5.99 for Vonage VOIP. The Vonage upfront cost can be offset with Quidco/Topcashback. There might be a VM upgrade charge if you upgraded from 10Mbps.
