Switching landline/broadband or landline alone - please help!

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!
