Daughter needed land line and broadband in the flat she has just moved in to. Her last place was Virgin equipped, and once they had got it up and running, (about 3 weeks!!) it worked fine.
However, where she now is is not Virgin's cheapest area.
Talktalk did not get a look in as their service is non-existent.
So plus net deal for unlimited non-fibre at £2.50 a month for 12 months, plus line rental, (paid as a lumpsum) was the cheapest.
As Mixture says, paying such low prices means that service might not be the best. But while it works, (grand total of 6 days from order to active broadband), she is not moaning at £2.50/month. And the call centre is in the UK.....
PS - the young, huh!! - she has free landline calls over weekends. What on earth do I want a land line phone for she says. She only uses her mobile.
