Hi Xray Spex

It is £20 pm for 6 months, followed by £27.50 for six months plus £12.25 per month line rental. Added together and divided by 12 for a year's contract it makes £36pm.

No, that's with TV. I'm talking about w/out TV, just BB + E/W calls.

Sky line rental is £9.95/mth if you pay 12 months upfront, otherwise its £12.25.
Sky broadband is £7.50/mth if you also have a TV package, otherwise it's £10/mth.
Sky's anytime call package is £5/mth.
They have a current offer of 6 months free for the broadband portion (but not the line rental).

So, you can get Sky Broadband and anytime calls without TV for £25/mth if you wanted.

Confusing site! What I previously saw was prices for BB + Calls within a TV package, without actually saying it was a TV package.

I now find that Sky Unlimited with eve/wknd calls (no TV) is only £22.25 (£12.25 for 6 months) averaging £17.25 pm.

Talk Talk are pricier and have a lot of customer service critics and IDNet as mentioned have traffic management.

Am I missing something? As far as I know iDNet, haven't currently and, never have had traffic management. In this they are pretty much the same as Zen and NewNet. The only thing all three do is bandwidth limits - you get a set amount of bandwidth, after that you pay extra.

@XRS: yes, sorry, promotion-bombed there and got the wrong package elements, you are correct.

@Tacitus - yes, true. I shorthandedly just meant that at the lower, competitive price rates they charge for usage up to a fixed point so it's not open usage for your subscription, it's limited usage.

As with other white label packages you can vary the QoS you buy, and the Ofcom speed report if you dig beyond the basic headline is interesting, i.e. the other metrics

There is the resller option with TalkTalk.
I went with XILO on their TalkSurfPro 50Gb month package for £26 a month, this includes line rental and its a 1 month contract. No calls plans so if you spend alot of time on the phone maybe not the one for you but the broadband performance has been exceptional, both speeds consistent at any time of day (speed tested) and pings for gaming brilliant. Also no line profiling which is worth its weight in gold and no throttling of any kind.

After one of the most interminable purchasing processes we have exchanged and therefore I am about to order our broadband package!

Orange (£22.75) are very competitively priced - £10pm + £12.75 per month (line) free calls anytime and no metered broadband, estimated speed (acc to call centre) 'up to' 17mb.

So it would seem that Orange are the best bet offering the most, for least.

If I may therefore ask a supplementary question of you or others Roberto - am I missing out on a critical issue that might make me wish I had considered out after signing on the dotted line? I.E. Is Orange getting some quite critical customers? Are they likely to be one of the slower providers on the market? etc.

I am hoping for an unlimited broadband package at a competitive cost that offers a quality service plus a telephone line for occasional use (I have a Vonage phone for work which does me fine for all calls).

Many thanks

Hi, if you are considering Orange broadband and your mobile phone on PAYG, you can qualify for the £5 per month reduction off the broadband price if you take out the Dolphin £7 pay monthly contract. Which means you get 250MB data mobile Internet & 500 texts & 150 anytime minutes all for £2 per month.

I am going for this with Orange next month when my 24 months T-Mobile phone contract will end.

Do people moving networks always take their number with them, or can that come to a halt after the first move?
