Which is better EE, Talktalk or Tesco?

I am looking to change to one of the following suppliers, EE, Talktalk or Tesco for Unlimited BB and Eve & Weekend calls.

My preference at the moment is EE, purely as I've heard bad things about Talktalk for years and Tesco, I don't know enough about them as a supplier. Plusnet, I've heard are the best compared to these three but are a tad more in price.

Can anyone shed any light on which is better for reliability on phone and BB?

I get speeds of 6.5mg download with my current provider, will this improve with any of the above?

    Orange(EE) is managed by BT, why not try Sky?
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
  • agree with penrhyn sky offer trully unlimited broadband(no traffic managment at peak times or fair usage limits) admittedly bt have just started offering this now also but are more expensive. regarding speed it will stay practically the same unless you look at fibre the main factors for speed are usually quality of line and distance from exchange so your access speed as i say wont much change if change at all no matter which provider

    Since broadband is exchange-specific, what are your LLU options?
    Do an exchange search on www.samknows.com
    None of those would be on my shortlist, you have picked 3 of the lowest rated suppliers seemingly rather arbitrarily, without first checking what is available LLU on your exchange.
    I'd second the above votes for Sky (only if available LLU).
