Posted: Tue Aug 31, 10 5:21 pm Post subject: switching phone and broadband provider

I am currently with Orange on a combined phone and broadband package which includes the line rental. When in contract I was paying ï¿½25 per month, but when it ran out they upped the fees to ï¿½33 per month claiming that BT have raised the amount they are charging Orange for the line.

I am tempted to change providers as I think I am paying too much, but am worried that if I move I will be without service for a while, which I can't afford to be.

Any advice? Anyone else switched providers?

I'm with the Phone Coop and more than happy, also not paying as much as you now are.

I know some have had problems with TalkTalk but I've used them for years, they rung me up last week and I'm getting my full service for ï¿½7.50 per month for the next two months, rather than the usual ï¿½25.00, which is nice.

I moved over to Talk Talk earlier this year. Their phone service is, well, a phone service but their broadband is shite. Sky where very good. Couldn't fault them.

We switched to Talktalk earlier this year - regretted it immediately (agree about their broadband). Fortunately Madasafish took us back with minimal disruption and also beat Talktalk's monthly rate. Have no hesitation in recommending Madasafish - their customer service is excellent

I can't fault Sky - Their service is good and I've no quibbles about their price either - when I changed I didn't even loose service - no sorry I lost broadband for as long as it took to change the routers over

Couldn't agree more about Talk Talk, they really are awful. I would change to Sky but I really object to giving the Murdoch Family any money. Are there any ethical packages out there?

I have to say that I have been with Talk Talk for a long time as well and am very happy with all aspects of their service and only pay about ï¿½21 a month, which will increase by ï¿½5 on 1st October due to BT increasing the rental charge.
