    unlimited 01/02/03/0845/0870, 30 landlines international, 500 mobile mins is that package....http://best-value-broadband.orange.co.uk/b/broadbandsignup/

    £8.50 off, £5 extra @£33.50 is a lie they sold you on, £5 extra is for non Orange LLU which no longer exists, Orange continue charging £5 for - NO Orange broadband plan can be £5 cheaper for Orange LLU areas, its false advertising.

    So you could have pushed for the current 1000 mobile minutes deal.
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)

    Could have been if you pushed for it "same deal as new customers with a discount or lose me, you changed the terms not me"

    The 30 countries landline inclusion does nothing for me, I have them free on my mobile uma/signalboost "unique" bundle which goes alot more places than my cordless landline phone.

    Welcome back Diamonds.... where have you been hiding? ;-)

    When going through my broadband options the line i was using records the calls unfortunately and i had a discussion on how 0800 numbers were being charged a connection fee of 12.5p per call to which i was told this was not the case and they are 100% without charge. I have listened to it back and its quite audio-able as you would expect from a line which is recorded.

    So if i am charged... i wont be.

    Been with Orange since 2008. Still have my e-mail welcoming me to the mobile and Live box( dont have it anymore) it went caput! and they couldnt be asked! So Netgear bridges the gap.
    My telephone line & calls is with BT eves & wkend
    Orange is my broadbad
    Got an e-mail on tuesday and a phone call today (twice)!
    They told me : * Same no & same line.*
    * Month 1 to month 12 cost is
    £18.50 breakdown is broadband £ 5 and £13.50 tel calls
    *broadband unlimited**

    Forgot to ASK where l will stand with my Mobile phone and If there are any covert undercover additional changes/charges!
    *12 months contract*
    They then compared costs with Talk talk £21, BT £27.60 Sky £22.25 and £Virgin 28.40.

    When l compare it to my current BT phone calls, line rental & payment prcessing fee & printed statemet fees it looks good.
    For one year.... Good deal, bad deal... Orange broadband has been good for me - just the live box issue. shall I stay or shall I go?

    Montage would you believe... I was in a very dark black square cell (I was fumbling the walls in the dark) & all of a sudden *they* obviously changed the terms & conditions of capture, next thing I knew I could see a bright Orange light in front of me....the sun, I ran for it, when I felt I was far enough away to know my terms & conditions or date of release were not being changed I turned around to have a quick look of where I had just ran from and what do you know ?

    My cell from the outside was indeed square, but not black as inside...it was Orange coloured, and some dumba$$ guard had to write the colour on the outside of my cell what colour it was for them to remember I guess, they even left their initials just after the colour, TM....wonder who they was....it was not pink and anyway I mean who has the name T-Mobile ?

    Maybe it was Terrible Management given my kidnap ?

    Sounds all rather hiltler-esque to me, & I'm no jew & I go for "world peace"...strange senarios people like me end up in for being the small man with a internet connection, you'd think I had my internet FREE by means of theft !!!

    Oh well, we will never know, alas I'm free now :D

    Should you quit or should you BLOW ?

    Look into call costs with Orange first, others here have got the TOP Broadband package for £20 instead of £28.50

    superfast is on its way


    Hello Sexy

    Everything Everywhere, the company behind Orange and T-Mo...

    blah blah blah.....

    your Orange broadband will soon become EE broadband

    BLAH, BLAH, BLAH....

    *Everything you love about your broadband service will stay the same. The price you pay for your broadband and your plan details wont change*

    blah, blah, blah....

    It's going to be great, we'll be in touch when EE launches.


    Kind regards,

    Why say nothing is going to change - false hope after the rumours, then e-mail me to tell me I have 30 days...to say yeah or nay in order to keep my broad band at £5.00 per month1
