Hi folks, anybody know of any good broadband deals at the moment? ive been with aol platinum with aol talk for 2 years and works out about £40 a month!!
i was looking at bt option 3 where u get a free hub phone and free calls etc for 22.99 a month with speeds up to 8 meg just like my aol speed at the moment!(but the bt has a 40gb limit!!!)
any advice would be great
cheers

I changed to Orange for my mobile a couple of months ago and got their free broadband offer included as long as i had a contract that was £30 p/mth or more. I paid the extra £5 p/mth for the unlimited package that includes a wireless modem, 8meg speed, unlimited downloads, free calls to any orange phone number and free calls to any landline number. (via VOIP)

Bonus is that i now have a second line and phone number too for free

i too was looking at BT option 3 but the 40 gig is too low for me so stuck with AOL platinum.
i rang AOL and got a reduction i now pay £24.99.

what the hell do you use it for Scott if 40gb is too small, or should i not ask

Im currently on BT option 2 which i got for the price of option 1, this also included free home hub, think its around £17.99 per month and i get nowhere enar the full usage from this....

Im with Tesco.net for my broadband access. They currently offer Tesco Finest Internet Access which will give you unlimited downloads, free wireless router, free internet phone and the fastest speed available on your line, so it could be anything upto 16mb. All this for £24.99p/m
Im just waiting for Sky Broadband to come in to our area then i will probably switch to them.
