Page 1 of Best way to get landline & broadband in new flat.

My daughter has just moved into a new block of flats. It is wired for cable & for standard BT connection. What`s the best (most cost effective) way for her to get landline & broadband?

To get a landline through BT she needs to pay connection charge of around £125, then she`ll have to pay line rental + monthly broadband fee. We`ve seen Tiscali`s current offering of landline + broadband for £14.99/month including line rental, but she`ll still have to pay the connection charge.

As an alternative she`s looking at VirginMedia`s current "3 for £30" offer of 2Mb broadband, unlimited landline calls & a Virgin Sim card with 100 anytime anynetwork minutes & 100 texts per month. All this for £30 per month

Any other ideas?????

Cheers,

Jim

Virgin.

No contest.

Forget BT.

Yep. Can`t beat cable. She might get free basic cable TV with the landline (not sure if it is available with other offers though) which includes free on-demand services (BBC channels, Channel 4 channels, Bravo, Living).

Given the choice of one or the other, when just setting up a new home.

Virgin @ £30 V BT @ £125 no contest.




I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

I hate answering the phone at work - It disturbs my sleep.

Thanks guys, you`ve just confirmed my original thoughts.

cheers,
