Internet + phone line

Anyone recommend a good ISP that also offers phone line?

Im currently with Virgin 50Mb,But i think they are expensive (especially the phone line) and their customer support is no good.

I priced up on Sky too but they wanted £50 a month for their 20mb connection (and they said i might only be able to get 5-11mbps in my area) + phone line.

which again is a ripoff.

Appreciate any feedback.

  • If the estimate you're being given by Sky is 5 to 11 Mbps - the average of that being around 8Mbps - then that's all the phone line can potentially manage, regardless of what ISP you go with - indeed Sky is ADSL2+ and so their speed would be higher than some others.

    I say "potentially" since it's an estimate, could be higher or lower than that.

    £50/mo seems expensive - line rental maybe around £15 a month + broadband about the same per month sounds closer to "normal". Wondering if they've got that wrong.

    As above, don't know who gave you the Sky costs.

    Unlimited Broadband and Sky Talk Freetime is £10/month

    Line Rental is £12.25/month.

    ATM You can get 6 months broadband/talk for £5/month.

    You can save a bit more on line rental by paying for 12 months up front.

    See the Sky Website for details.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
  • lol, Sky isn't £50 a month. I pay less than that with Sky Talk, Broadband Unlimited and their TV.
