Fish, I had BT telephone and Virgin broadband and then it was automatically changed to Talk Talk quite a while back, probably when yours was changed. Talk Talk were absolute garbage, constantly lost connections etc.
Anyway, got totally brassed off and looked and John Lewis. Nothing was easier. They did it all and it's paid monthly by DD. It is in fact provided through PlusNet. but I have not had one problem since going with them about 2 yrs ago.
Have a look. They've got offers on atm . Phone and Broadband ,Unlimited £20 per month , 12 month contract.
I was paying £18 month to BT of line rental only.

I wouldn't go back to BT. My daughter is with them, and she is constantly having problems. No phone, no internet, so she can't even contact them to inform them. They've made every excuse possible, but they are crap. Only got to look at the no phone book to see how few customers they have . It's like a diary.
Also, 1571 is no longer free, evening calls after 7pm are not free ( both of those free with plusnet) call charges are higher .
PlusNet is a bit cheaper direct than through John Lewis , difference JL is 12 month contract, PlusNet is 18 months contract.

Sadly they're all as bad as each other when it comes to fixing problems.
Probably right but at least i might be able to understand them with a UK based help and technical line. Phillipinos are all very nice and polite but try and go off script with them.. agh!
