Good deals for all-inclusive broadband & calls?

I am currently with Plusnet and wondering if there any better deals:

Line Rental Up Front £185.88
£16.99
Call plan £6 a month (unlimited calls)
Broadband £5.50 a month

Any recommendations for better deals?

    Be aware that unlike Plusnet, not all landline providers offer inclusive calls to mobile numbers.

    Most do, but BT for example does not. This may or may not be a deal breaker.

    EE would get close,


    Line Rental Up Front £202?
    £18.50
    Call plan £6 a month (unlimited calls, 1500mins to mobiles)
    Broadband - Free for 12 months ? or couple of quid

    Bear in mind that the anytime call plan for PlusNet went up to £8.50 as from 1/09/16. Not sure how it will work on renewal, they are still charging me the £6 a month. As Ian says, calls to mobiles are included. I looked the other day and the PlusNet upfront line rental is a lot cheaper than BT (think there's is about £205 now), but BT are expensive generally anyway.
    Your best bet might be to speak to PlusNet on renewal and see if they'll throw any freebies in - I got PlusNet TV free for 12 months last time I renewed and a free Youview+ box, on an 18 month contract. It's normally £5 a month for the TV and a delivery charge and activation fee for the box.

    I joined in October and the anytime call rate was £8 ( the same as Sky's). I pay £8.99/month for calls and caller display , as I paid line up front.

    Ofcom has made proposals that no charges be made for provision of CLI so this should even things out eventually.
