Re: FTTC now available which provider should I choose

That's correct - which I think would make it a lot more expensive than the others.

Thanks,
I hadn't considered the free wifi which would sometimes be useful

BT Infinity 2 - unlimited, free BT sport and wifi.

Not the cheapest I know. And to be honest, when I've had to use the customer service it's been OK.

Don't go for a capped package - as already stated - you'll burn through that as higher quality videos/streaming come down the wire (And uploads).

Roberto, thanks for the pointer to AAISP, I've had a look and can see that I could get 100gb at 80/20 on their Home 1 package for £40 - but wouldn't I also have to pay a line rental on top of that and I occasionally need to make/receive phone calls?
Length of package isn't a huge factor for me(unless something goes wrong) , apart from AAISP who have 6 month term all of the others seem to be 12 months except Plusnet that was 18 months.
Thanks
Alllan
Have you considered EE FTTC broadband and landline home phone? £11 line rental, Up to 76Mb/sec £29.95 home broadband unlimited with home phone. Total £40.95 per month, 18 month contract. ooo

Hi,
Thanks for that. I'd seen the EE adverts but hadn't really looked at what was available as I'd got the impression the prices where for their mobile phone customers.

If you don't have EE, Orange, or T-Mobile mobile phone you will not get the £5 discount each month so £5 is added to that price £40.95+£5=£45.95 per month for home broadband FTTC 76 Mb/sec unlimited with landline home phone, includes £11 line rental, 18 months contract. wink

Xilo have just launched an FTTC package with a 500Gb fair use cap peak use, unlimited off-peak.

With them you're guaranteed peerless support from the tireless Matt & co.

Failing that, the only other real contender is BT, if you're willing to risk the dodgy support should it be necessary.

BT Totally Unlimited £25 package is a bargain at the moment, simply because you can get 95 quid cashback through Quidco and a £125 Sainsburys voucher. You can always dump them after the 12 month minimum contract.

Xilo looks like 40/10 at £68.49 or 80/20 at £72.49. Line rental extra.

Might be high quality support, but I'd take some convincing.

I agree they are a good company and the support appears excellent.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk. Domains, site and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync 60000/16961kbps @ 600m. - IPv4BQM IPv6BQM

You can get contract free fibre that includes line rental, with calls under 1p with no call connection charge and per second billing.

Not any more! They ceased a discount for EE mobile custs some time last year, probably when EE TV came out. Now an EE mobile only makes you eligible for EE TV.

So the original price of £29.95 you quoted for EE 76 Meg Fibre BB applies to everyone,

EE does provide an excellent actual BB service (BT-based like many others) but is let down by the worst, atrocious CS which can often feed back into the technical BB service, like unnecessary banded profiles, delays in activation, unbeknownst phone no. changes, ...

However I was pleasantly surprised by EE CS today, Since the Grand National 10,000s of users, incl. myself, were beset by their EE email not working. After a lengthy wait on the phone I got on to an agent who sorted it out for me within minutes. It was a email server configuration fault that locked out loads of users.

1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up => 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB => 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB => 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU => 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU => 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC
