Broadband and Home Phone

Options
My contract with BT ends in March this year. Am I right in saying no other provider can offer a more competitive Package for 200Mb+ and 500 + inclusive minutes per month?

    No you're not but It depends on what your package costs, without that how can one judge ? 
  • Vodafone broadband are doing full fibre 200 with phone number (no call package) for £25.50 a month on a 2 year contract - I'm an existing customer so couldnt see if available to all.  Usual price suggests £46.50

    Dont forget that it will have an increase of around 8-9% in April and another indeterminate rise in April next year as well.

    Further to my starting post for this subject I cannot find anyone that can compete with 150mb + Broadband and 700 minutes phone for an extra £9.36. Vodafone and everyone else would charge over £50 for my calls.Of course i could just use our mobiles for outgoing calls but prefer not.

    As we still don't know what price you've been offered by BT, all I can do is send positive waves!

    For landline calls I used 18185.co.uk, you need to set up a DD for payment, calls currently cost 2p min or 6p min to mobiles, worked on Plusnet anyway, now gone for Plusnet FTTP and VOIP with A & A call costs 1.5p min 6p to mobiles. You can set up VOIP before the broadband contract ends with another number, cost £1.44 month then port your old number within 30 days and cancel the new one.
