Question Daughter is leaving home needs BB recommnedation

Can't get Cable in her area, so what's a good package, preferably highish spped for ADSL & no more than a 12mth Contract.

Budget up to £30/mth, needs to be able to stream video, support a PC, tablet, Chromecast, Phone etc


Not terribly worried about the telephony side as has a mobile, TV packages too just a minimum.

Any suggestions? (prob needs a wireless router too, not sure if these things factor in a modem/router these days.

Re: Daughter is leaving home needs BB recommnedation

ADSL depends on how close you are to the box.

Try her neighbours they would probably tell who they use.

Plusnet do a basic broadband and phoneline package with a 12month (or no) contract. You can also choose not to have any call packages on the line.

Or Talktalk, or 99p store.

Re: Daughter is leaving home needs BB recommnedation

Thanks guys, its looking like it's narrowed to Plusnet or BT, talktalk was a contender but too many horror stories about Customer Service.

Re: Daughter is leaving home needs BB recommnedation

That would break the budget.

With the £16.99 line rental as well 38Mb unlimited would cost £39.99.

I got shot of my Infinity line because I got tired of paying for BT Sport. The less money BT receive the better, may actually make them rethink being happy to chuck tons of cash at football but as little as possible at the network.
