Hah, like Jeff has a phone installed upstairs.

Not sure if they still do it but I get my home broadband through Orange plus a mobile phone contract for £31.50 a month. I get speeds of around 4-5 meg (where I live means thats all I can get as I live in a private road that doesn't have cable and so I'm restricted to getting it through a phone line), I also get 400 anytime minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB of mobile phone internet, 50 photo messages and free sat nav on my phone. Oh and with my broadband I get a free wireless router and through my landline free evening and weekend calls to other landlines and Orange mobiles. I can't really complain with all of that.

Plusnet is the way forward, got myself a 12 month contract a couple of months back, first 4 months was free and then around £15 a month after that.

Was a deal on that Martin Money saving expert thingy!

I’m miles from an exchange so I’m stuck with Virgin, not that they are crap or owt, just means there’s little point me shopping around.

My speeds are a pretty constant 10meg, the traffic management is a pain at times mind, but I can work around it.

o2 is good value. £17 per month including line rental and off peak calls and unlimited 8 meg broadband. £5 more if you don't have an o2 mobile (payg or contract).
