Any better options please?

toozie_2

:(Hi
Just wondering if someone could show me how to get a better deal than what we are doing:

Broadband (40GB monthly download) £13.01
Line Rental £12.60
Anytime Talk £4.09
TOTAL: £33.79 Monthly D/D-paperless bill
With Tiscali, now TalkTalk, but we have never allowed them to change the Tiscali package, because OH likes the 40GB download and TalkTalk have always offered us less.
Not locked in, been with Tiscali for about 4 years.

I would want to keep my Tiscali email address.

We also pay £22.50 to Sky, which I may cancel, although OH loves the channels in our package

OH has a works mobile (he pays nothing) and I have a PAYGO, with Tesco so when I do top up £10 it adds another £10 for that month.
I usually top up £10 every 3 to 4 months.

Any ideas please?

Just changed house insurance & car insurance (renewal time anyway) and used Quidco, now my brain is dead!

Thank you. :beer:

First see which ISP's are on your exchange

http://www.samknows.com/broadband/broadband_checker

Then we can start to narrow down the best offers & cashback deals

Plusnet is normally a good benchmark to work off for an easy "all in" package price

60gig usage + Anytime calls = £26.98pm including line rental before any cashback & deals are factored in.

Well the only provider coming up under our post code is Talktalk and off the site:


Ofcom Classification What is this?

Market 1
This exchange has BT Wholesale as the sole provider of broadband services
I'm confused?

Short_Seller

Generally means not much choice & more £££ packages as its BT wholesale equipment in the exchange.

Orange Might be an option ?

£27.75 per month for unlimited Broadband -anytime talk & line rental + £120 in cashback from quidco

Orange did have a bad rep, but the new CEO/ managment have changed things
Uswitch / simplifydigital & Broadband choices are always worth checking for extra freebies & promo codes

TalkTalk standard LLU package is 40GB allowance anyway. Is TalkTalk LLU available at your exchange, or is it via BT anyway? (With TT you can get "free" broadband if LLU connection is available).

Which exchange is it?

Snap I was wondering that.
Pity its a Market 1 exchange, Sky's current customer offer give the first 3 months free.

Caveat Don't touch Sky Connect BB.

Looks like you are pretty well stuffed on getting cheap deal then, as all your services are carried if not billed by BT.
