Switching Isp

[tony_123]

My ISP is BT.com. BB monthly usage less than 1GB and less than a dozen calls via landline. Cost £47 month. I am thinking of using my mobile for calls and thus lose my landline. That frees me up to switch to another ISP for BB. Does that sound possible IT wise? Am I forgetting anything? Kindly Tony.

OK I am not techie at all and my answer will probably be dismissed by other posters but if you have internet coming to the house you still have to have a landline (unless it's cable or dongle or something) that has to be paid for even if it's not to BT. Other thought is if you have a BT email address you will probably lose that after a while.

We pay TalkTalk £25 a month for fibre broadband and landline; you need a landline to carry the internet to your house with any ISP. We only use the landline for incoming calls as we find using our cellphone (with Tesco) is miles cheaper. We are, however, very infrequent telephone users - one call a month is not unusual.

Really you are paying far too much. I pay less than you for unlimited broadband, free anytime calls and BT Sport. I would phone BT and see if they will reduce your package drastically. If it's still too expensive, a dongle might be the solution.

Have you spoken to BT.

If Not give them a bell.

A few months back I was paying BT £52.99 per month for Standard Broadband and Unlimited Telephone Calls (Up to one hour per call), I was out of my original contract with BT so contacted the firm and said that I was thinking of looking for another ISP. The result was that I am now on an 18month Contract for the total sum of £33.49 per month, but with Superfast Fibre and Unlimited Telephone calls.

My approach to BT was to ask, if today I cancel you as my ISP, can I then sign-up tomorrow as a new customer at a more favourable rate than I am getting at present.

I was guaranteed a download speed of 36Mbps, but am regularly getting more than 48Mbps.

G'morning tony........Thanks for the Best Answer. Only came across it this morning.

I hope you have found a good BB deal; be it with BT or another ISP.

Cheers.....Hans.
