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 guess it's whether they need to send anybody round to do it for you. If you've got your own hardware and know how to set up a router, they can just send you the password and stuff. If your existing router is going back to BT, it shouldn't make that much difference - I used to get "own router discount" (I don't know whether that's still available), then my router died and they sent me one of theirs, already configured, for £6 P&P, and the only trouble I had was working out which way round the clip-on pieces go. (Routers can be flat-packed to fit through a letterbox now! You couldn't have done that with my first one.)

OK, that's fine - I thought it meant you had to run the cable in or something. I can do that, no problems.

And done!
