spent too long without a broadband connection in my flat and am sick of it. got no active bt line and can't get o2 apart from that 'access' shit. just wondering if anyone who knows about this sort of thing could recommend the best value broadband package out there.
Random Questions: broadband recommendations.
ring tomorrow for an installation date….thats the only thing that takes a long time.
costs a fair bit as well cos they always try to con you that you need a whole new line and box.
0800 032 7930
£7.78 for the first 3 months with a free hub. the new one.
www.bt.com/broadband
think you get some other stuff free if you order online.

Go on the money saving expert and search on the forums for BT installation charges. As BT will often charge you to active the line again which will cost £120. The forum tells you how to avoid these and also of times when promotions are ran to waver this charge.
And get o2, it's unlimited and customer service is better and with this http://www.quidco.com/o2-home-broadband/ you can get it for hella cheap.
well no mention of it yet 
bt are gits…trying to find out actually what they are charging you is difficult until it leaves the bank account.
heres whaat i pay.i thnk. 17.50 a month line rental. plus an extra fiver or so to cover any calls (i always use my mobile) but that gives me free eevening and weekend calls. then on top of that about 75 quid every 3 months for unlimited broadband.
locked in for 18 months. you get a 'free' homehub. minus the phone bit.
heres the thing with them though…the indian call centeres when something (rarely) goes wrong. drived me fucking nuts and i turn into victor meldrew every time i have to talk to them. funny that there sales team isnt based in india, but everything else is. think what really gets me is the ten bills i get a month. would give carol vaulderman a hart attack trying to work them out. total nonsense.

BT is pissing me off again, connection in the home office keeps dropping out.
whats the best broadband service to have now?
Eddy the electrician told me to have cable/virgin broadband as he has never had any issues with it. Is virgin ahy good?

You got sky already?
Its pretty topper to have sky, BT line rental for that and then have virgin cable isntalled just to do the internet.
But it is the fastest option for internet.
I use Zen over a BT line rental (dont have sky) and get 6Mbits downstream which is good enough.
2 years never had any downtime.
I'm on O2 (over a BT line) and it's faster than the BT internet in my previous flat, about 5 to 6 Mbits usually. Would certainly recommend them. Great price if you happen to be an O2 mobile customer.
Our old BT connection would drop repeatedly actually now you mention it, had to switch the router off and on a few times a week.

Im an O2 customer already and they were offering its top package to me at £17.50 per month, should be able to drop that further.
Got Sky, have BT for line rental/broadband so may swith to the 50mb virgin package. am i right in that the fibre optic set-up is better than the bt one i currently have so less downtime?
