I think they have a download limit - best check.

 

im not sure but i think it was a 40 GIG limit per month

[Kry10 10]

your right, they have a 40gig per month limit, but, that is not too bad, I have been considering going onto their scheme, but, I believe you have to be on BT first, and I have no phone line at all at the moment.

thought they were putting their own mast thingys up so you now dont have to have a BT line?

[MuteWitness 10]

if its the actually line that needs installing BT will do it but tie you into a contract i think its 12 months, or if they just need to re connect your line its 3 month. Theres only BT and cable that will fit lines.

we have telewest 2mb broadband, cable tv and phone line with free weekend calls for £25 per month

They take over the line from BT using a system called Local Loop Unbundling.

 

Check carefully with their website checker that they are planning on including your exchange in their LLU program - if they aren't then it will cost you more than the advertised £20.99, and also what date they will be doing the LLU from as well - they are only providing limited cover ATM until they put their own kit in....

And if you need any technical support it's going to cost you a fortune by the looks of things... I agree with previous posters, it's best to let someone else take the risk first to see what it's like before you sign up for the 18 month contract!

I took this from another forum, its enough to convince me to stay with tiscalli. I pay £17 a month for unlimited download and all local and national phone calls

Ofcom should from July start removing restrictions from BT so expect BT to offer new packages and be now able to compete fairly. The talk talk package is probably the first of many offers that will be made available over the next few months. You will also find that the diversity of packages will also increase moving away from just phone and broadband. There are over 100 licensed telecomm operators in the UK and all of them will have to compete.

i think BT is the only broadband supplier who don't tie you into a contract so they will be my choice

[Savannah2 10]

Isn't BT a 12 month contract?
