International calls costs

I recently noticed my brothers bt bill a whopping £90 a month. He's an online teacher and teaches mainly forgein students. He doesn't have unlimited broadband and pays line rental monthly + International freedom for £8.50. (The first hour is free and you can disconnect and reconnect if you need for longer) and around 28 hours per week. He thinks that it's worth paying because of the cost of international freedom. I disagree, I'm struggling to find a good comparisons site that shows international prices + good download speeds. The comparison tool doesn't show any extras.
Any advice on international calls and broadband and telephone would be really helpful, I need to convince him there is cheaper out there.:j

If he has got Broadband what is the problem? If there is a worry because it is limited then cheaper to go to unlimited and use Skype then pay for calls. Skype is £0 and no need to redial.0

I assume you've looked at the link:

At first guess I would think maybe an unlimited broadband service and then taking out a separate subscription as a business and getting a VOIP service, for example http://www.voipwholesalecompany.com/ or some of the other VOIP options mentioned in the guide.
Or as the guide suggests, a mobile phone service such as Lebara might also be an option?Indecision is the key to flexibility
