What do you make of these?


[link to this post]
 
Due to increase costs, i have decided to look into bundles. I have two that I were looking at and just wondered what others experiences are of these?

Here they are.
https://www.yourcalls.net/Features/Broadband/Default...

http://www.thephone.coop/residential/broadband

I called co-op and asked who supplies there LLU. They said they cold not tell me that or they would lose the contract. So anyone know who is the LLU supplier?

I bet it's talk talk. Don't know if the wholesale is ok as the retail is not good.

Thanks but moneysaving is how i found out about yourcalls.
I used to use utility warehouse many years ago and they are poor.

That is why I am looking at smaller providers. SKY and that lot am not interested in.
Someone must know who supplies co op with broadband.

Thank you for the link.

So looks like i will have to change my phone number, from what that says. The broadband is from talk talk, as I though it maybe.

I assume talk talk wholesale, is nothing like going with talk talk direct?
£23 is a good price fro phone and broadband.

Wonder if you can use 18185 on that service?

That is why you need to take the line rental and broadband package together.

Are you aware of the problems and cost of leaving a Full LLU deal such as that?

The line ceases to qualify as a "BT line" that all other ISPs except Sky Full LLU require. You are faced with a possibly costly exercise getting it back to a phone supplier where it does so qualify, then probable loss of broadband for 1-2 weeks and a possible broadband setup charge.

No requirement and most full LLU phone services do not support the call prefix operators.

Whether it is worse or better than TalkTalk retail - all depends on what actual quality of service they are buying from TalkTalk. Even if charging more than TalkTalk that is no guarantee of service.

The they can't say suggests this is an old Tiscali contract that is now a talktalk business one, and probably buying as cheap as chips to keep price down.

Then again, you could get unlimited broadband with no minimum tie-in on the line rental, free calls to mobiles and 40 countries, and no penalty for a paper bill if you choose to swerve direct debit and pay at the post office

what other LLU services have you got on your Exchange? If you got Cable and wireless Tesco uses them and the network is good, but it is fully unbundled, like Talk Talk.

If you want cheap then Plusnet and Orange is cheap and also look at the post office.
cheap is not always good mind you, I am not going for bundles again, keep everything separate

Cant vouch for the broadband with yourcalls.net but been using them for anytime calls for 4 years, so must be good. Dont forget the cheaper chargeable calls ie to mobiles you can designate as a golden destination. Signed up with these after Talktalk stole the phone line.
This is in conjunction with O2 LLU, previously ADSL24 with Entanet.

Now going FTTC and retaining yourcalls as a phone provider.
