Sounds like they are all a bit risky to deal with!
TBH, I don't have any real desire to move from Talk Talk to BT for the phone - as said, our phone calls really are minimal At the mo our broadband is Orange, as Gill has a mobile phone contract with them that gives us free broadband. She's changing her phone soon, so looking at options for BB, and BT have been recommended (for the Home Hub set up). But, as we are with TT for the phone, may make this tricky? TBH, we might be best off just starting to pay for Orange BB and getting a new router!

We Use orange Phone and BB, it's a very good service also you get a second line with your BB package similar to Skype with orange and the router is easy to set up

Without a doubt BT provide the best service. TT are rubbish and I've loads of customersa who've tried them and moved back to BT.
I pay £5 a month to BT for my Broadband. £3.00 for unlimited calls and £120 per year line rental so £18 a month effectively |

becuse where so far away from the exchange we was only just able to get broadband on aol we got .5mb moved up the street by 5 houses and they could no longer do the bb.
we moved to o2 started good got about 1mb then after a year it slowed right down to .5mb. we switched to sky and that was the worst mistake we ever made just short of the year contract i told them to stuff it. moved the line rental back to bt and took the infinity 40mb download speed its so brill we will never look back also have no downtime like sky or o2 and service has been great.

I've been with them for about 10 years now and on the whole they are very good. The biggest positive for me is that they have a UK call centre and more often then not the person who answers the phone can actually deal with the issue.

I have no problem with Sky whatsoever. Fast and stable at all times of day. The only issues i had were with Openreach setting up the line in the first place.
BT.. well, never again. Expensive, slow, throttled at peak times, the Home hub was rubbish, i had 3, all were faulty, the last one they wanted me to pay for again, i refused and left them. Its not quite true that all ISPs go through BT systems. Openreach are in control of the exchanges, but BT dont have a say what really goes on. Never heard anything good about Virgin around here. Incredibly slow whether you have the 50/100Mb service or not, poor customer services, throttled to a ridiculous point at peak times.

Agree about their customer services too, fortunately I've not had to call them too often!

This is proof that its almost impossible to get recommendations on ISP from a national group, you need local recommendations.
Around here Virgin gets so bad that nothing happens at all in the evenings, everything times out and torrenting is out of the question. Im downloading stuff now on Sky and getting the max theoretical speed i can for my connection, ive never had that with any other ISP during the evenings. BT basically blocks all file sharing of any sort, legal or not. I was getting maybe 1kb/s with them.
