Both my landline contract with BT (in my wife's name - still in her maiden name as only recently married) and broadband contract with Orange (in my name) have just reached the end of minimum term.
We are currently paying £15/month with BT for eve+weekend calls and broadband is just over £9.
There is room to save money, and I have looked at 2 options:
1. Join Talk Talk and get the half price broadband offer with line rental
2. Stay with Orange for broadband (and ring up to haggle deal) + switch landline from BT to Primus Saver
I was wondering if I would have any problems switching the BT landline either to Talk Talk or Primus as is currently in my wife's name but will want it in my name whether I go for option 1 or 2. Also if switching to Talk Talk, would I need a MAC code from Orange?
Any advice on the above or whether one choice or the other is better would be greatly received - and yes I am aware of the customer service issues with all of the above!

This comes down to personal choice dependant on your requirements, speed, download limit etc and what you need in the phone calls package.
Best to review comaprison sites ...

Many more to chose from, including some that offer cash back deals too.
make sure you take into account customer service too, some companies have attrocious records for this aspect.
