Telecom Packages
 
I used to be up to speed on this all but im not at the moment,

i move house in a couple of weeks and want to re jig my broadband phone and if possible get digi tv in too.

However i currently only spend £25 on bt and £15 on tiscali,

i have no probs with any of ther service from the two providers...

Being tight i dont want to spend any more than i am really, the digi tv isnt that important either i rarley watch it these days, but with the world going digi as a 21 yr old i guess i should get up to speed... (my gma has a 32" lcd, i have a 19inch 10 yr old crt") :roll:

i think NTL is the provider around our way, scary enuff !!

does any one else have any suggestions how bet to re jig it all?

also considering scraping it all and moving into a tree hous ein the middle of a forest, where i can harness the power of the natural environment to survive...

eitherway im happy..

ta.. :)

Do you have cable available,

if so just buy Internet, forget phone and use VoIP.

Sky would be an option


They give free broadband if you subscribe to certain packages - and for £10/month on top of the TV subs, you can get up to 16Mbps with no usage cap

Going to be looking at it myself, so dont know full details of their "Acceptable Usage Policy" so cant comment on how good/bad it will be.

I found out recently that VoIP doesnt work with Sky+ or HD. Well that applies to Vonage anyway

Vested interest alert - I work for NTL

NTL cheapest package is £11 per month for phone with free digital TV for £25 installation. You can add Virgin mobile SIM card to that for £10 per month (no contract just 30 days notice) giving you 300 mins any network anytime and 300 text. If you want to add broadband, then as above 3 for £30 or 4 for £40

Sky - Broadband 2GB (per mth limit) is free for £40 installation, but I like 8MB (plenty GB) for £5 per month £20 installation IF IT IS AVAILABLE IN YOUR AREA. This only requires £15 a month basic package (half price for 3 mths). BUt you need a BT phone line, not NTL.

Cable, if you can, you should.
:lol: only joking choose what you like!

no need for a BT line with cable package

NTL? Their customer service is legendary - and not for good reasons. I'm reminded of this recent thread:
