We currently have broadband with BT, telephone with Pipex and only a freeview box with TV.
Hubby is looking into a package deal for all three from say someone like 'Sky' or similar. We can't do 'Virgin' as they don't come out by us!

Anyone any comments about this?

Recommendations?

Etc???

I used this site to compare then looked for further reviews as I've heard so many horror stories and suffered from some myself! http://www.uswitch.com/broadband/.

I use Directsave but I don't think they do a TV bundle. I pay line rental, UK local and national calls free anytime and unlimited broadband for £32 per month, no separate charge to BT. Also, they have a UK call centre which is answered promptly by someone who understands English (no disrespect to foreign speakers intended).

We changed over to Talk Talk about a year ago for phone & broadband very helpful people no regrets, saved about 1/3 on calls plus didnt have broadband before...

Shop assistant went a bit wide eyed first time we went in & I said to him that we didn't want the hard sell we were not signing up for anything that day we just wanted information... Laughing
