Page 1 of Cheapest Broadband+Line Rental+Calls / Broadband individually if cheaper overall

I don`t understand why my area doesn`t appear to come under the areas of FREE BROADBAND or decent discounts. I.e. Sky, tiscali, etc

According to ORANGE I am only a short distance away from the BT exchange and should achieve speeds of 7 - 8 mpbs. The companies tell me they need to upgrade the BT exchange, to enable us to use their services and cannot tell me when that would be in their planned works.

Is there any way to find out when this is likely to happen? Or is the best broadband+phone line rental + calls package? Talk talk may be the best option but don`t like the fact can`t p2p. The other is ORANGE but with any contract, they have to start the 18 months again, so don`t want to do that till my upgrade in 6 months time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
