Phone advice

[ffutures]

My BT phone bill this month was over £50 - with no calls made, just line rental and internet. Admittedly it's fast internet, but I think the price is getting a bit silly. I've resisted changing phone company until now because I didn't want to change my number, but I'm beginning to think I ought to bite the bullet if there's a better option.

Any recommendations for an alternative in the London area? I want phone and internet, not really interested in extra TV channels etc.

I have just bitten the bullet to finally change ISP and have gone for Virgin. They are transferring the BT landline number to the web & phone package I have gone for (also not interested in TV).

VIVID 300 fibre broadband and home phone
£44 a month
for 12 months

Then £55 a month
12 month contract
£20.00 activation fee applies
Includes Virgin Phone line

I was advised by the engineer when he was checking that the fibre was available for my address that I should threaten to cancel after 11 months because I'd get the new connection discounted rate for another year.

That's going to be more than I'm currently paying after one or two years, but it's certainly a possibility.

that's the fastest (300Mbps) option. There are cheaper options if you're happy with a lower speed.
