change of internet provider

[chassyp]

I am with Orange/virgin media, or whatever they are called these days. I pay �18 a month for what comes down the line at 1 to 2meg a time!! I have been trying to change to a cheaper service but all I get is someone trying to flog me phone and tv and phone stuff grrrrrrrrrr!! Anyway does anyone know a way to just simply change from one to another. I have been with the same people for about 5 tears and am sure I`m paying over the odds. Also what service would you suggest I go for?? Regards

It would help if we knew who you are with.

Orange and Virgin are seperate companies - and if it is Virgin it is probably a non-bt cable line. If you don't have any sort of bt line you will have to pay a connection fee and probably be contracted to bt for 12 months.

If it is Orange, you are using a bt line of sorts and your choice will be much wider.

If you are leaving Virgin then you will need a BT line
if there was a BT line already in your abode before you had cable then it can be reactivated and then you have the line rental of �11 per month.

if there is no BT line whatsoever then you will have a one off installation charge of �124 charge and then the �11 per month.

look at O2 they have excellent deals at the moment
