Best phone/internet/tv deals?

[ukaskew]

Any ideas? We really wanted cable but it's not installed in our new house.

Looking for the following:

Internet: At least 2MB and at least 40GB data-transfer per month.

Phone: Not too fussed, but free evening and weekend calls would be nice

TV: Not bothered either way, will probably just stick with Freeview.

Looking to spend no more than £30 per month including our BT line rental (£10.50)

So far I've found this which looks ok, but would like non-Sky ideas as our developer is being a b**ch about having a dish on the wall.

Sky Broadband (8MB, 40GB)
+ Sky Phone (free Evening & Weekend Calls)
+ Sky TV (Basic Package + Knowledge + Music)
= £21.00, so about £32 all in with line-rental.

Virgin

Phone line including evening unlimited landline calls
2mb broadband
Large TV package which has about 85 channels

£30 p/m

and you can take your number from BT over to virgin.

That is of course providing ytou are in a cabled area. you say it isnt installed, but does that mean you are not in an area with service or does that mean it has never been installed at that property?

Sorry, I mean it's not available in the area. Odd as the estate was built in 2000 and they have it everywhere else locally.

£14 a month, upto 8mbps and unlimited bandwidth (yes yes there's a FUP but Be have implemented it twice in the last 12 months)

£10.50 (or something like that) BT line rental

Personally I'd steer clear of cough oversubscribed/over contended cough Sky unless you want a life of misery..

That's pretty much what we've got, but we didn't bother with the Sky phone, just stuck with BT.

Sky broadband is really good, it's never dropped out and we get 16 meg with unlimited downloads for £10 a month (you can't buy it that fast any more though, so we were lucky!)

Works out about £30 a month cheaper than our NTL (Virgin) package was.

Talktalk and Tiscali are £19.99 a month including the BT line rental and 2mb internet with the download you want.

Had tiscali, now have talktalk.

Both have been ok. Free anytime calls too.

It's what I want, but the dish is an issue so I have to look at alternatives. I haven't looked to see if others have a dish yet but I assume most people just ignore that particular rule, vast majority of houses in the area are £250k + and I can't imagine they are all just watching Freeview!

depends who you speak to. Speak to someone who I monitor adnd you get shite service they get it fed back and eventually out of the door if they dont do their job correctly.

I have had appauling service when I have phoned sky as in told by 3 seperate people the guy coming to look at the dish was on his way only to be told by the 4th person he was never on his way in the first place.

You get it at all companies im afraid
