Who's your phone/broadband/TV provider?

    Just wondering what providers people are using and how much their average monthly bills are.

    TV - Freeview on TV and using Tvcatchup.com - Free!

    Phone - Talk Talk International package - Free calls to 30 countries, including Ireland (excluding mobiles). Free local and national calls - Average monthly bill - £26, including line rental

    Broadband - up to 8 Mbps (actual ~ 5-6 Mbps) Talk Talk - Free

    So my total TV/broadband and phone is about £26 a month :)

    Who are you all with?

    We're with Virgin, not particularly through choice so much as being the least painful option - the place we're in has a fibre-to-the-cabinet connection that was set up with Virgin before we moved in, and we found out upon moving in that getting our previous BT service moved over would cost us £125 (!). Between that and the lack of a working aerial for Freeview, Virgin seemed worth a try - we get their basic cable TV package (like Freeview, but with a weird version of the BBC iPlayer built-in), phone service including cheap calls to Spain & Ireland, and 50MBps broadband access for ~£41 per month.

    They're not brilliant, but they're no worse than I found BT to be over the course of our 2 and a bit years with them. It seems to be that once you're up and running, any of the major operators are OK, but moving house or getting set up for the first time is a bloody nightmare no matter which of them you're with.

    With Sky. Have had the TV for years, have had the broadband and phone for about a year. Love the service, phone and broadband very cheap and the broadband is fast.
