Decide what your needs are multply by 1.5 then divide what they actually provide to arive at disappointment BUT what you get is what you pay more-or-less and the weather is rainy? study and compare chez;

Hi,
Welcome to the forums.
You don't give much detail about your BB connection or why you want to change.
Ask yourself these questions and then post again with a little more info, so that we might have an idea as to what to recommend.
What package are you on with Orange?
What is wrong with the Orange package that makes you want to change?
What do you use the internet for?
What price do you pay?
What price do you want to be paying for a similar package with another ISP?

have you checked out the plusnet website? They are part of BT, and have recently won an award for something or other.

edit: I ought to say I get my broadband with plusnet and they do phone packages too (which I don't have). Also they have a forum site which you may like to visit.

I think that no matter which provider you go for, people will have good and bad experiences with them.
Personally I have been with BT for many years now with no probs at all.
I am on Total Broadband option 1, and find it more than good enough for my needs.
Others will have some horror stories about BT but I can only praise them. (Up to now)

im with talktalk in both my houses.their call packages are the same as bt,but you dont pay the £15 + per month for bb and if you want unlimited bb its £25 per month with bt.talktalk gives you 40 gb per month allowance.ive not looked at other providers,no need to.........

Hi, I have BT Total Broadband Option 3 and I`ve never had any reason to complain about it. It does for me what I want it to.
Hope you get what you want and are happy with it.

and see if you can save on the line rental check here.

Utility Warehouse is part of the TalkTalk/CPW group. They are not everyones favourite ISP and if you are considering them, take a look at their reviews on www.ispreview.co.uk or www.dslzoneuk.net before making that choice.

Hi I have had sky broadband (2gb limit) sky talk, sky t.v (basic) I am well pleased it has cost me an average of £24 per month for the last year, this includes all the above. I have had to pay £11 per month to B.T. for line rental. This includes a "Router" so my wife can use her laptop, ernest

Look at O2 broadband if you are an o2 customer i.e (payg) or mobile it is easy to set up and very good price see link

A lot depends on whether your exchange is unbundled.

If it's not the best priced deals are not available.

An Entanet re-seller like poster cclseeds is probably your best bet.
Half the top ten ISP's on ISPReview are Entanet re-sellers.

I'm currently with Namesco and have found them to be excellent, if I ever had to migrate it would be to UKFSN.
