HomePhone and Broadband
Did notice this advert in the courier for the above (Page 19). Didnt actually seem a bad price for what they were offering. Has anyone got this deal at the moment. Always wary of changing suppliers when i have no problems with them but this is around £10 cheaper than what i am paying so may consider it. Thanks in advance.

Re: HomePhone and Broadband
Yes...i've had this deal for just over 10 months now and have experienced no problems apart from only getting a broadband speed of 1 Mbps from a potential 8Mbps that they say you could get . When i signed up for the deal they tested my land line and said it would support 2Mbps , but i don't even get that .
The factors that reduce speed as you probably know are the distance you are from the exchange and peek demand , so i put my slow speed broadband down to that . Your line might be able to support a higher speed , suggest you give them a ring and get them to test your line when you enquire before committing yourself .
When my one year contract runs out in just over a month i think i will look into any good deals from fibre optic cable suppliers , if only to get a higher speed , but if too expensive will stick with the Post Office .
Hope this helps ?
