i've had a good look round and £21 is't that bad for unlimited DL etc..I just don't see why they should charge £21 for just broadband when you can have all 3 services for £30 or whatever. Same cable and all that.

Thanks again.
Thats because they give you discounts when you take more than one product.

Also if you have 10Mba nd phone its around £25 so thats a pretty good deal for unlimited 10mb which will probably be atleast 8.5mb.
At present I'm paying c. £40pm for up to 40Mb up and 10 down including free calls 24/7 even for 0845 numbers.

I posted my average speeds earlier so see no reason to reiterate.

Should this comment be in other ISP's section?

Forgot to add, UNLIMITED downloads as well!

Re: Broadband pricing rant.

They charge £21 because they can. You've already said it's not a bad price.

To make things worse though the phone is a totally separate cable....

The saving from dropping the phone is deliberately low because you are depriving them of the option of charging for calls which isn't competitive at all imo.

Re: Broadband pricing rant.

You notice I'm not saying it's better for everyone? Just for my needs.

Cool its good that you got a great service. I hope eventually Infinity can offer a service as good VM's my mate has it and I remember a time he was saying he was limited to 2Mb lol. But I assume its a bit better now?

Anyway were off topic now, this is the CABLE INTERNET section not adsl lol. Its the same as talking about Sky tv on the VMtv section.
