I'm not too sure of the contract we're under with BT - as I understand it we're ok to leave them without penalty clauses, although Tiscali will charge us for the rest of our contract, but as that's only till Feb 2010 I'm happy to bung them the rest to get rid of them. Talk Talk looks prety good actually - I'll go for the £4 download boost, and as up to 8mb will also do me fine this will give me: 80gb monthly limit up to 8mb speed free evening and weekend calls everything on one bill £11.25 line rental + £6.49 + download boost £4 = £21.74 + vat (£25) We're paying almost 50 quid a month at the mo for an "unlimited" service that throttles like mad in the evenings, and the phone, but on seperate bills. Tbh is the 24mb service becomes available in Barnstaple, I'll upgrade to that for the extra 4 quid and still be paying less for the lot. Perhaps moving isnt so bad after all.
