Guest Bijal Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 my father in law uses them for his business, and he has seen massive cost savings. he also has their mobile phone offers and its been really cheap for him and his staff of 12 people. i have recently been thinking of changing over to them too. will do it before my next quarter with BT. broadband is upto 8mb as well thats if you have that speed available to you in your area. good luck.

CJ Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 You need to check that you can get the "free" broadband in your area. Some areas (like mine) you can only get a £10 per month service which is still very cheap but not free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Might be a silly question but is the broadband ADSL or cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 So it's free calls to UK landlines and a bunch of foreign countries? So really you would only pay extra for your calls to mobiles? Do they charge a lot for calls to mobiles? Can you keep your existing phone number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Plusnet are also coming out with a very similar offer. It think quite a few of the players in the market will react with their own options. I wouldnt jump just yet, give it a month or two. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHanky Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I always check this site to try and gauge what certain ISP's are like before I join. Just remember Talk Talk is a 12 month contract and so if they do turn out to be rubbish you will find it difficult to leave them before the end of the contract. http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=talktalk This is also a good place to compare ISP's http://www.adslguide.org.uk/isps/compare.asp Hope this helps, I know from experience how much an ISP can p!ss you off, as I unfortunately joined Tiscali when I first went on broadband Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
