Some suggest that P2P is throttled.

They do. I don't want a debate over it, just giving some friendly advice.

TalkTalk throttle P2P heavily.

As has been said, no. They stopped using it years ago. In fact Tiscali no longer exists - TalkTalk bought it last year, and all customers have been transferred.

As has also been said, you don't have to take Sky line rental or calls, nor do you have to have their TV. But how much 0845 calling do you do? Is it so important?

Anyway, my ranking for best product:- first, line rental with BT with Be Unlimited broadband - but you say too expensive; second Sky Unlimited; third Plusnet Extra with Pro option. The Plusnet one should be perfectly OK, there's nothing wrong with being third in a list of over a hundred, so if it fits your cost needs and you feel comfortable with it, go for it. It's only a monthly contract anyway if you pay the startup cost. The others are 12 months, or 18 for TT.

TalkTalk are wayyyyyyyyyyyy below those for your requirements.

Well i personally would not choose either of them, both imo are rubbish here is the details for rochdale exchange lcroc there 's what is available to you i note that fttc will be available in your area early next year, so something to consider before getting into a 12ths or even worse still 18mths contract (talktalk) bt do an anytime calling plan 0800 0845 free inc

How many Anonymous posters are there in this thread? One seems to like TT, you seem not to. Why the heck people don't register so we can at least agree or disagree with them in a sensible way defeats me.

Anonymous posts are pretty well useless as they tend to be opinionated and often wrong.

In this case the 0845 free calls on BT call plans, which are compulsory and included in the charges, have usage requirements, as I pointed out to the OP earlier. 0800 is free on all CPs, period!
