Hello again all wise and all knowing advice providers 
Hope you can assist with som advice once again.
Currently with TalkTalk ISP (with Tiscali prior to changeover) on their Anytime talk Phone/Broadband bundle which is costing an average of £31.73 per month.
Avg Download speed - 2.70 Mb/s
Avg Upload speed - 0.64 Mb/s
We use 2 laptops, one with wired ethernet connection the other on wi-fi via the router.
Included in this price is:
£13.80 - Line rental
£ 4.09 - Anytime Talk Home phone boost (What is that?)
£7.14 - Evening & Weekend Talk.
(Our call charges average out at £6.70 per month)
My question is this: Is there a cheaper,faster more reliable 'Phone / Broadband Bundle' or would I be better off with a seperate lower line rental and a seperate standalone broadband package?
Hope you can help.
Many thanks

Depends entirely what is available on your exchange-broadband is exchange-specific. Go to www.samknows.com and look for your other LLU options.
Anytime gives you inclusive calls 24/7 to UK landlines (up to 60 minutes). So if you are still racking up £6.70 on call charges you need to make less exclusve calls -presumably mobiles, overseas or premium rate numbers.
You are unlikely to find a cheaper supplier than TT (assuming it's an LLU service). 'Reliable' is another ball game entirely...No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
maybe try going with tesco broadband and landline,
tesco use cable and wireless and there a really good supplier.
£31 seem about average.
normal package cost £24-26 a month for line rental and the broadband, the extra is the calls you make.
I would call them and get that anytime talk home phone boost seems like a waste.0
