Moving home and BT

I'm about to move home and whilst doing so, thought I would ditch BT who are charging me £56 per month by Direct Debit and have not had the courtesy to explain in detail why this should be when everyone else I know pays so much less. Most of them have TV too and I only have calls and broadband.

Anyone got any recommendations about who provides a really good service and how much a switch is likely to cost?

Any help or advice gratefully received. Moving date end of this month.

Susie :)

    A switch doesn't 'cost' anything unless you are still in minimum term contract to BT.
    Since broadband is exchange-specific, do an exchange search on www.samknows.com for your LLU options.
    If you break your monthly charge down, then someone can explain why you are paying far more than you need to. Which phone tariff, which broadband tariff?
    But I'm guessing that you are making a large number of exclusive calls, or exceeding your data allowance on an old obsolete capped tariff.

    Thanks, will check out what you say. I don't use the phone except in the evenings and I have free evenings and weekends and I keep within my broadband limit so I'm at a loss

    So post the bill breakdown. Otherwise we are just guessing. You are paying more than twice what you need to.
