Straw Poll: How much for broadband and landline? ?

£19,99. Per month + net

I'm with Virgin and only have broadband and landline (free calls anytime) and pay £38 per month. I could have got it for £35, but decided to upgrade to 100mb broadband for the extra £3.
What have you been quoted, FannyCornforth?

I have been thinking about removing the TV from my Virgin package. Presently paying £62 for tv, landline and broadband.
I would move from Virginmedia but we are cable and I have heard it’s a bit of a faff.

I used to have Virgin TV along with the phone and broadband and worried I may miss it when I just went with the two, but with a smart TV with a TV Play button, I can access everything I want. Would definitely not go back to paying for TV now. I suppose people who are interested in stuff like sports channels would need to subscribe to one of the paid for ones, but I never watch sport so it works well for me

I am in the same position as YorkLady with cable, but I cannot change. I don’t have anywhere to put an outside aerial and I don’t even have an overhead telephone line from the pole across the road.

I am with Plusnet and I pay around £37 a month.

We are with Sky and pay £28.

I can't get cable, and have a fibre package with BT for about £25. That gives extended 'superfast' broadband (ie there is an extension disk thing that boosts the signal to the rooms at the back of the house), unlimited data and unlimited use of the (rarely used) landline.

I didn't bother with the TV, as we have a Humax box which I don't want to disconnect, and there seems to be no point in having two recorder thingys.

I am so ashamed about this.
They caught me on the hop yesterday (they called me after I’d cancelled the TV)
The chap had a really strong (UK) accent and I honestly couldn’t bask questions because I really was unable to hold a conversation properly.
My new contract (which I can tell you, is certainly not going to happen) won’t start until the end of next month.
Anyway- it’s £60

BT phone inc BT anytime calls
and BT broadband .
Includes BT sport channels (for DH)
£54 pm.

Cancel it ASAP and tell them you are looking elsewhere. If they don't offer you a better deal there and then, they will definitely call you back after a few days with an more appropriate offer. You could also mention you have a "friend" who only pays £38 for the same package they are offering you, so why is their offer so much more? At the end of every contract I have with Virgin I phone and "cancel" their services when I get my renewal offer, and they always come back to me with a substantially lower price. I have been with them for over 10 years now

Talktalk. I pay £20 a month for only broadband and landline, I don't have a tv. I get the first 60mins of calls free.

BT without TV but includes total internet access and all calls plus 700 extra minutes a month £55. Just upgraded. We don’t need the TV package.

I pay £28 to Virgin for broadband only. No landline.
BT would've charged £27.99 for slower speed so I rang Virgin to leave them and they matched BT.

With Sky paying 25.50 a month for broadband and landline free evening and weekend calls. Not a massive speed, but enough for me.

Forgot to add, in our road the Virgin users have nothing but problems so we are quite happy with BT.

I negotiated a £22.95 deal with TalkTalk a year or two ago for super fast broadband, landline with inclusive U.K. calls to landlines and mobiles. It is going up to £31.26 a month in January I have been told.
Oh no it’s not!
No way am I agreeing to that. They start back to work on Thursday and I’ll be giving them a call then.

Forsythia

BT without TV but includes total internet access and all calls plus 700 extra minutes a month £55. Just upgraded. We don’t need the TV package.

700 extra minutes of what Forsythia? You are being robbed.

Virgin £43, broadband, TV, landline and Mobile. I do not actually have a landline phone but the package had to include it.

Mine finishes in March then I am going to switch to just broadband, I have Now, Apple TV and it is a smart TV so do not really need the TV package.

I’m with Virgin. I pay £33 a month for broadband, tv package, tv 360 box and landline. My landline is on the basic plan so free weekend calls only. I have unlimited calls on my mobile so apart from the odd incoming call it’s not used. I enquired about removing landline but it was only going to reduce bill by £2 a month so I kept it in case of mobile problems.

My broadband was 100 speed but when Virgin recently joined forces with O2 they gave all customers who are with both a free upgrade. So I’ve now got 200 speed broadband and my mobile data was doubled up from 30 to 60gb on my £8 mobile contract.

Each time my Virgin contract is in its last few weeks I always phone them and select the “thinking of leaving” option. That gets you through to the team who have the authority to offer the best deal to stop you leaving. I’ve been doing that for 10 years and secured a discount every year.

Just negotiated a new deal with TalkTalk. I've exactly same deal now for £22-95. Land-line, broadband. UK free calls up to 60 mins free.

£15/month for Post Office landline only.
£15/month for 50GB data + 5000 texts + 5000 mins calls on Tesco Mobile.
I use the mobile hotspot to give internet access to my laptop, as the broadband kept conking out so I stopped having it.

BT £52 that includes, line rental, 150 speed, call outs and resolving internal faults, 700 mins a month for calls including to those to mobiles, my mobile phone with unlimited calls (landline and mobiles), texts and 10GB data.

Just gone onto a comparative site and BT still comes out on top for us BT are the only ones that can access the superfast cable that's just been laid. We live in a very rural area.

Price is fixed for two years.

BT give you 30 days to cancel.
