    if i had one bad thing to say as of yet then basically my contract is up, so i rang them and said look youre offering £50 to new people, if i resign can i have it aswell.

    they dont seem to know which department can answer this question because i got passed around like five times then i gave up and will try another day when i have the time and patience.

    See my post #8 on this thread, worked for me and a few others too, good luck

    PO Homephone also offering free connection till 31/3/2012

    See: http://www.postoffice.co.uk/broadband-phone/home-phone-broadband/home-phone-broadband-standard/getting-connected

    Indirect access on www.18185.co.uk does currently work , but only BT have to allow access.

    Er, what does that mean?

    ...and does switching to them in anyway affect my choice of broadband in the future?

    I am with BE Broadband, if that's any help?

    I guess BT own the line, I just pay rental to the Post Office instead?.

    Rochdale Guy who are you with ATM?

    A) You will only pay PO for line rental and phone usage. Not BT or anyone.
    B) You can transfer BE to your PO line without a hitch.

    Thanks, but I knew that. It must be the way I word things, sorry!

    What do you mean I can transfer BE to my PO line? Do I have to tell BE?

    I thought I just let the PO switch me over to them, away from BT?

    Why would I need to inform BE just cos they provide my broadband???

    Do you get itemised billing, and can you check your "call log" online like with BT?

    yes to both of your questions.

    you can log into your account and see recent calls , they are sometimes a couple of days behind though

    when you bill is produced go to your on-line account at mypostoffice.co.uk and you can see you bill with all the calls for that period.

    the bills are really easy to understand unlike bt , who make them as hard as possible
    hope that helps :)
