Sky BB/Phone Package Or Plusnet Similar Package?

Moving house soon, and, as i am with Bethere at their inflated for the speed i get price, i feel a change might be welcome. The new abode is 0.7 miles from exchange according to samknows
Will be looking for a phone deal with unlimited calls
Was with Plusnet until they started their throttling episodes a few years ago, so i could go back with them now that they dont seem as bad these days. I still have my PAYG account with them
Or i am looking at a BB/phone deal with Sky as well, but cant decide which is best in terms of service and value for money
Things in the "win" column with either seem to be a good rating for Sky (Plusnet's throttling behavior leaves a bad taste in the mouth still, TBH)
And the fact that i might not need a yearly deal with Plusnet as a still registered customer of sorts (?) so i would only be upgrading

The other solution is to stay with Bethere
Bethere is £36 for unlimited calls and BB
Cant for the life of me work the prices of similar deal for both Plusnet and Sky
Their prices seem all over the place, due to "offers" all over their website
Anyone have any info and, i know ishouldnt ask this but..........suggestions/comaparisons for the three of them
One last query would be, if i go with the phone deals with any of the 3 will i still have to pay BT anything? The phoneline might be classed as "inactive" by them. I am thinking of them charging £120 plus to re-activate the line, so that one of the chosen 3 can use it
I admit i am WELL out of the loop regarding LLU, phone and BB packages and the like, so please be gentle with me

Which exchange will it be? The samknows link would be great .

https://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/LVCLA

Anyone?
No One?

I think I chickened out when I saw the exchange details. As you say, that comparison is far from easy. Not having been with either on ADSLx I don't feel I can advise, although I'm with PN for fibre. I moved to them from IDNet fibre, and glad I did as I see no significant difference from IDNet.

Before that I was on O2 LLU, but only around 6Mbps sync.

Its not so much a case of what the exchange has to offer, its more what each company offers
I was hoping to hook a contributer from each (Sky and Plusnet) to say exactly what the deals are, without me having to decipher the BS from both the companies in question

Thanks, but that's not what i'm after either
That only compares speed, reliability etc
Its the "what one gets and how much money does one have to pony up for it" comparison i am after.
Its further confused by the fact that the property might not have the BT line "active" still
Whether thats in hibernation, or fully disabled i dont know at present, but i think it would get rather complicated, not to mention expensive, trying to get BT to re-activate it, and then get it taken over by either one of the 2 ISPs i'm thinking of going with

I've used both ISPs and PlusNet is best.
Their Customer Service really is as good as the hype in their advertising suggests.
Given your unresolved issues I would go with PlusNet.
You can get Broadband Value (not Fibre) without a contract, if you pay for their modem.
Otherwise,as with other ISPs it will be 12 months.
The only advantage Sky has is "unlimited" downloads.
In all other categories PlusNet win easily.

Ummmm.

Given that he is posting because he wants us to do the legwork for him ( at purdy ), I don't think incomplete statements like that help?

The website says activation £25 unless you take a 12-month term. If you take a 12-month term £40 router (not modem) is also free, subject to £4.99 P & P. You can then leave anyway on 10 days notice if you pay both the charges at the time you decide to leave.

That's why on this page I cover that aspect, as well as some other things. Value is of course a 10GB peak time, off peak unlimited package. IIRC with an option to add more rather than pay overusage charges or lock down the usage.
