I've had enough of Virgin Media. I'm switching to either BT or Plusnet+ as they are offering me a better deal.

Which is best ISP between BT and Plusnet ?

TIA

    Plusnet every time. Plusnet offer exactly the same services over the same network, and will always be cheaper. Better CS too.
    But what about your LLU options? Do an exchange search on www.samknows.com to find out.
    But you are aware that if on VM cable, you will first need a BT-based landline installing or reconnecting to get any ADSL services?

    To OP
    i was just about to start new thread with exactly the same question so i hope you dont mind me asking
    bt is £23.75 for all calls and BB 12 month online and £25 sainsburys voucher offer plusnet is about £19.49 similar package but BB is free for 4 months (-£26) and £35 cashback from broadband choice
    tesco is not going to improve tried everything including changed router and i have only been with them since 12/03/2012

    Quidco is rather better-currently paying £45 for a dual bundle (phone and broadband) sign up with Plusnet. 6 days left on that one only.

    I've opted for Plusnet through Quidco. By far the cheapest option plus cashback.

    BT were the worst consumer agency I have ever dealt with. I am now with Talk Talk and they are doing a half price for 12 months deal through a few sites including one called RecommendedBy.co.uk just now. Might be worth a look.
