You should be paying no more than half of that amount (and probably quite a lot less).

 

[del320]

That's more than the annual leccy...

£10 to £20 a month max for adsl maybe a tad more for 100meg fibre these days.

Let me know if you want a referral code to use plusnet (BT tech with decent customer services)

 

[jamesfuller]

Guy, do you have much choice in your provider?

I too live in a fairly 'out of the way' location and unfortunately BT are the only provider that can get anything to me worth while!

I cant help but think that as they know that they can always hold back on the pricing deals knowing that I will be able to do nothing apart from become a recluse!

 

[guydewdney]

not a lot of choice-
zen
eclipse
BT
john lewis
plusnet
tesco
sky

 

[jotter22]

I have unlimited B/B,
unlimited UK calls, (the usual numbers...)
1000 minutes to UK Mobiles.

all for £19.75 a month to go up to £26.75 after 6 months.
With EE.....
