I understand that, but TalkTalk don't offer broadband here (I've tried on their website).. Nor do Primus. We're in a Market 1 area..

If you use EE, orange or T-Mobile Mobile Phone service . Then could be one option, they use BT Internet.
Problem is Tie ins with most suupliers.
Zen has only 1 month tie in. Phone cost is competitive, Broadband more expensive
Could use Zen for phone others for broadband
Uno (Xilo.net) £14 if CN21 enabled

Orange and T-Mobile use EE broadband and give a £10 per month discount for their mobile users.

That's because Orange and T-Mobile are just names on mobile price plans from EE.

Not at all - Orange and T-Mobile joined forces and raised the EE flag. Anyone holding an active Orange or T-Mobile sim gets a £10 EE discount for phone and Broadband, which is not to be sniffed at and offsets the rubbish customer services.

But now Orange and Tmobile are just price plan names. EE is the company, as all the invoices are from EE Ltd, as the former companies merged. Existing customers keep what they had, but we were all notified of the legal name change (around 2010/2011). The discount for broadband is a nice if you want EE broadband (its not got many features).

Actually EE BB is Orange BB! "Orange, brought to you by EE"!

No BB is sold under the T-Mobile banner.

I am using ORANGE Broadband here. Also, my Nowmobile PAYG that was a vitual operator on the T-Mobile network, stil runs as nowmobile - Not EE, though it gains the same discounts as a T-Mobile proper sim.

Any MVNO will still brand as the virtual operator, but can now use all EE masts. Orange and T customers phones show EE as the network name, as its one network. Virgin (should) no longer show the difference between "virgin" and "Virgin" for former T and O masts. Your Orange broadband should now be branded EE, and if you have a brightbox router it should have changed its menu graphics automatically.

I suspect EE has to pay a royalty to Orange SA and Deutsche Telekom to use the Orange and T-mobile brands, thus the removal of the old websites this year.
