BT price hike - can anyone advise me on switching?

We are talking last straws here.

I switched to BT a few years back to get away from what was a dreadful Virgin service, since when I find I'm going regularly over my 'broadband limit' (thus incurring penalties) and am frequently beset by technical problems, not least the little-publicised BT Vision/iPlayer incompatibility.

I don't know where to turn now.

I need, frankly, an unlimited broadband service together with landline (also unlimited calls to landlines or suchlike) and something similar in scope to the BT box with freeview, pause and rewind, maybe catch up access like iPlayer/4oD.

Can anyone tell me in very general terms whether there is anything on offer out there which consistently beats BT on price? I realise this is difficult as pricing seems to be in the melting pot at the moment. This is why I use the word 'consistently' as, when the price hike dust settles, I'd like to find myself in the right place.
