Telephone / Broadband for New Gaff

[wykikitoon 20234]

I am hoping to move in a couple of weeks to a new house.

 

Anyways, I have been looking at telephone / internet packages and I am a bit overwhelemed to be honest.

 

Our TV will remain with Virgin. We have got a good deal with them and we can transfer.

 

Our existing phone / internet is with Shite Shite (aka TalkTalk) and we are definatley moving as at the moment our contract ran out in Nov and were on a rolling contract (we knew we were moving).

 

We are toying with the idea of not getting a phone line as we both have company mobiles. However, it is cheaper for our parents to call us, but they arent that bothered as we normally call them anyways.

 

So, internet only packages. I have been with BE (Bethere?) before and their net was awesome. Do, I go with a company like these, PLusnet etc or someone like BT?

 

The bit I dont understand is the BT line. The new house has a BT line and their on BT for phone and internet. Anyways, I wouldnt have to pay for another line putting in, just an activation? If I go with BT for internet & phone, why the fuck do I have to pay line rental? Its owned by them?

 

Anyways, advice on what to do is welcome

You say you are not going to get a phone line, but surely you have to to have Internet?

 

Regardless what you go for I think O2 take some beating.

 

Uk call centres if you should need them and extra discounts if your mobile is 02.

Well thats my thoughts. We need a phone line for the net, from what I see its no cheaper to just have braodband.

 

The birds with O2 and I have heard good about them.

You pay line rental cos it's you that's renting the line. Whether your service is with BT or not.

 

As CT says, O2 are very good, but I think this Bethere lot are meant to be good too. If you've had a good experience with them in the past, I'd just go back to them.
