Broadband Providers

Post by basil6345789 » Sat Mar 11, 2017 10:56 pm

Having had Orange/EE email being taken away, I'm thinking of sacking them on Broadband.
Any suggestions on a good replacement (reliability as well as cost), please?

I'm with BT and have had no issues, the router has a good wifi range.
I don't recommend Talk Talk.

Depends on how much broadband you need.

If you are happy with telephone line service there is plenty of competition. They all go down a BT line so the rental price is the same. I too do not recommend Talk Talk - I had issues with irregular service although some of that could have been BT.

For cable you can get much faster rates. I currently use Virgin but I have landline, TV and Broadband. I've moved away from them and come back. I've found their service and helpfulness all I would want.

I've had my freeserve email address taken away aswell and not happy about it. Have to make do with gmail one
I've heard EE are going to be taken over by BT
If prices go up I might sack them off.

I have also got an orangehome email account which is being terminated on
31st May. Have created a new outlook address, which is fine, but what a
ball-ache changing everything and informing all the various companies of the
change.

I am not too happy about it but am prepared to stick it out.However if they are,
as suggested, going to be taken over by BT and the prices increase, then I
will look elsewhere. Fibre optic is in the street, so I might avail myself of it.

In the meantime, fairly happy.

Certainly is an inconvenience with the websites where emails are registered and you have to change them all.
I even asked EE why cant I get an ee email address like myname@ee.co.uk but thats not posible either, :o
