Any advice is greatly appreciated

There's connections so I'm assuming there is a phone line (I'm just moving in so don't know the full details at present). The

I have no idea about speed as I know nothing about this kind of stuff sorry.

Plusnet is pretty good and very popular despite being 'cheap'.
MSE article: Cheap Broadband
Do you know that there is Broadband & Internet Access (sub)board at MSE?

Thanks for the info

Plusnet Calls+broadband package - £60 cashback with quidco
Bt calls+broadband - £120 back from quidco (assuming you're not a previous customer)

Just watch out for usage caps - BT in particular are shockingly bad at offering fibre broadband with a paltry 40GB per month. If you intend to watch a lot of TV programs or movies through your internet (i.e. Netflix, catch-up/on-demand TV), that allowance will get used up fairly quickly.

VintageBelle - what do you use broadband for? It might give us some idea of what download speed you require.

I mainly use it for social media, emailing, Youtube and catch up tv.

I won't be needing tv or landline it will literally just be the internet I need.

I was also thinking of getting a now tv box, would that make a difference?
