Best BB high speed deal

I am currently with Sky for BB and line rental. I don't use the landline to make calls as they are so expensive so just have the line rental for incoming. I pay £17.40 which will rise to £24.90 when my contract ends next month.

As the BB speed and service is poor with Sky (many drop outs per day from being online) and I need to move a lot of my business media to clients I would like something high speed with just line rental, and perhaps some offer with cheap calls.

Is there a good service, deal out there anyone can point me please ?

    Sky have calls deals, including Anytime Extra, which includes 01,02, 03 and calls to mobiles and you can haggle a deal for the broadband/ line.


    Unless you go to fibre or Virgin, you will probably have the same connection issues with another provider, as they use the same wiring to your home. Could the problem be internal ?


    Some providers may also object to a business using a line meant for domestic purposes.
  • Have a look at Origin Broadband. Many packages including various fibre packages. Excellent line saver packages if you pay in advance.

    Been with them a year now . Excellent service, 100% UK based. Never had a drop out on 76me fibre, always get 65mb+. Been with BT, Sky and Talk talk, far better than any of these.
