The amount above was for BT's fastest internet.
I have an EE mobile already.
I feel it's not worth changing for the sake of £3.50 a month.
I am wondering what the (noticeable) difference (theoretical) speed of 700-900 is as opposed to 24. (I have similar thoughts about the difference between a £50 bottle of wine and a £200 one. Very theoretical thoughts, obviously...) Of course we would have found out in France if the Orange engineers were not complete b***ards...
I just asked OH what the package we have costs, it's around £84 per month.
Our previous BT package had gone up to £100 plus.
It includes OH's mobile, a booster, and also a backup box that will connect us to the mobile network when / if the broadband goes down.
Also, unlimited landlines and mobiles (UK only I think) on a digital connection. With exceptions, I believe for 0845 and 0870 and similar numbers.
I did check the international but don't remember what the charges are.
At the moment I've been using 18185 as a prefix to the international number. It is cheap for the US but Switzerland, where I call my sister, has gone up to, I think, 5p a minute.
All these charges are so appallingly opaque I'm going to have to do some serious research to work out what is what.
we did it some years ago - big saving and the only difference is that we no longer get cold calls.
before having a share of our son's internet we had a 4g router with a sim card - far more reliable than the landline we had.
I signed up for super fast full fibre broadband with BT. Installation on the 14th. I think I just get one WiFi extender disc but they say one can have more of ones not enough . Pretty sure it won’t be. Let’s hope installation is not à l’Orange…
I kept the landline but as PAYG. I guess I can use my mobile to ring people who put you on hold for half an hour. (Hospital and doctor mainly.)
£55.14 for 900mb (700 guaranteed) download/110mb upload and 'complete wifi' (a disc to amplify the signal). The landline is costing £3 a month.
They are also charging £11.99 to send out the equipment I guess the installation company is separate. (Openreach - separate but owned by BT.)

For those in London, I moved to G-Network recently. They have their own fibre network (not using Openreach infrastructure) and so far so good. They were cheaper than others I looked at. I don't bother with a landline
G network here as well, about 18 months ago, it was a bit wobbly initially but they have put a lot of work into the infrastructure and it wizzes along now.
