Broadband and Landline Package - Who's Best?

work_from_home_bloke

I have just started to work from home using my mobile and a wireless broadband MiFi dongle.

I need to get seroius about working from home and am looking at home broadband and phone packages.
I need reliability and low costs.

I'm leaning towards Virgin Media for the broadband due to their lack of a download limit.
I want to pay as little as possible for line rental and I'm not fussy about taking on an overide supplier for my call costs.

I have recently moved and have got by without either of these so far. My home doesn't currently have a landline, so I suppose I'm looking at installation fees and connection costs wichever supplier I choose.

All of the combined packages look like thy're 6 of one and half dozen of the other.

I want to make a choice fairly quickly.
Can you help me to see the wood for the trees?

Your first check is see what is available form your local exchange to help eliminate any that are not

Then let the forum know

As above, do an exchange search on https://www.samknows.com for your available LLU suppliers.
Broadband is exchange specific, so there is no universal 'best'.

Thanks for your feedback so far.


I'm in a well-served area with many different options

• BT Wholesale ADSL
• BT Wholesale ADSL Max
• BT Wholesale WBC (21CN)
• BT Wholesale SDSL
• BT FTTC
• AOL LLU
• O2 / Be LLU
• Bulldog LLU
• TalkTalk (CPW) LLU
• Sky Broadband / Easynet LLU
• Tiscali LLU
• Tiscali TV (via Tiscali LLU)
• Virgin Media (Cable)

So Sky and o2 are the obvious LLU candidates.
If you want fibre then BT or VM are the options.
