ntl/virgin 3 for £30- better/other options?



  535d / t5 caravelle
currently i pay £30 a month for virgin tv,phoneline and broadband.

i pay £35 a month for my mobile phone to orange, now orange give free broadband to customers paying £35 a month for a mobile phone.

So i'm wondering if i'm paying too much out here? if i get my broadband for free with orange, could i cancel my broadband for ntl/virgin? or would this mess up my phoneline?

Do you need to have a landline connected to receive broadband?

Also i am thinking of going wireless soon, and dont really use the landline phone much, if at all, just to throw a spanner into the works lol

basically whats my best/cheapest option? what would you do?

The "free" broadband offer from Orange will require a BT line. Obviously if you don't have one you'll need to cough up in the region of £125 to have one "installed" and/or you'll have to pay the monthly line rental to BT as well.

i think there is a bt line in, just its not connected, would imagine that would cost very little, maybe nothing? think bt line rental is £12 a month?

You'd think it would cost nothing but that's why I said "installed" rather than installed.

The £125 fee is simply to activate/connect your line inside the street cabinet.

i found orange to be absolute s***e. i had their free broadband and my connection kept dropping. i was on the phone for about 5 months trying to get it fixed and all they would do was line test after line test. i eventually went mental (properly shouting at the guy...no swearing tho, thats not on) and demanded an engineer to investigate and they said no, so i told them i was taking my business elswhere. I now pay virgin £20 and im very happy with it. haha, orange told me thay would pick up my 2 modems and cables they had send me, they never turned up for them so i binned the lot.

why don't you get the "all 4" package from virgin, get a sim card free with that with 300 odd minutes and 300 odd texts that only £40, save you a bundle!

now thats not a bad deal, but i usually go over that amount of texts and calls, could still work out cheaper though!
