Helen When you put it like that????? Think I'll have a look at the talk talk site and see what they can do then:-) Bev X

But youd only save that if you get the free broadband, not the tenner one I have to have until my exchange is done, so put in a search on the talk talk site to see if you get it free or not, you only put in your phone no. and post code to check. But if you have rellies abroad, well worth it with the free international calls.

was a bit doubtfull at first, so i worked out my bt bill which is quarterly and added my isp payment which i pay monthly so added it quarterly and it worked out to about £80 quarterly!!! the £9.99 for calls? is that what they allow you for calls? if you go over that would the bill go up? not that i use the phone that much! my calls with bt this time were just over £7 is there a catch? sounds to good to be true!

We signed up with TalkTalk BB mid April and were told we would be connected first week in June. We received the modem a few days ago and my wife installed it (I think :o)) yesterday. So they seem to be running ahead of their forecast connection dates. Still waiting for an email from her to make sure it's working, but I know she has been on the Price-Drop TV website so it sounds like she was successful. Derek

I never know what to do about changing providers. I pay £17.99 per month to virgin for my broadband and about £75 quarter to BT for my land line.Most of the BT bill in line rental and vat so would it be worth me changing to Talktalk please. Irene

Ive used talk talk all calls option for about a year now - the £9.99 will cover ALL your national calls, there is no limit and they have no time bands, its the same during peak or off peak- you can talk up to 70 mins then redial and its still free - the same has now been added to this package for international calls (se the list on the talk talk website, it includes USA and Australis) - they will be free too plus you get your high speed broadband free (or a tenner a month if your exchange hasnt been altered yet - in a country area - though you will get it free as soon as your exchange is updated which they reckon will be within 6 months). Dont forget we are talking monthly, not quarterly though. You will pay £21 a month for your broadband, national and international calls and your line rental. (Or £31 if you are one of the 30% in country areas which havent been updated yet). Non geographical numbers, like premium rates ones and mobiles are still charged for.

Irene, going on your figures, you are pay £18 for broad band, £11 for BT line rental and about £11 a month for calls - total of £40 per month? (slightly more actually, but roughly) If you get the free broadband (if your exchange is one of the 70% already changed) at £21 per month you would be saving about £19 per month. I dont know if they are quoting inc. vat or excl. you could check out their website for that. If you are in a country area still waiting for the exchange up date you will be saving about £10 a month (£120 a year) until your exchange is updated then you will be saving about £240 a year.(of course depending on the vat situation) Anyone care to check my maths? And dont forget you would also be free to call international numbers free too.
