Vodafone Broadband Users

Ive been with BT for years, always had good service and they are happy to always negotiate at the end of my 12 month contracts.
however as i do not use my landline, im interested in Vodafone's offer of no line rental charges.

Pros
Same speed as i currently have.
No line rental
Same price as i currently pay

Cons
18 month contract
£49 connection fee
No BT Sport (£5 a month for BT Broadband customers)
Unknown CS.

Anybody use this service? And please dont use the thread to drip about your current ISP.

[WTF]

Did you decide to go with them?

My contract with BT isnt up until March but my lad will be moving into a new pad soon for his Masters so was looking for him as well. Ive never had any issues with BT, they have always negotiated and i get a 12 month deal generally a fiver cheaper than the normal rate. Also my mobile is with them which is 3GB data and unlimited calls/texts for a tenner a month

However Vodaphones lack of line rental is appealing although it does come with an 18 month contract, i would also lose BT sport which i use for the UFC.

Vodaphone's "no line rental" deal looks like nothing more than a marketing exercise - they appear to have just removed the line rental as a separate charge & added it to the overall cost of the package!

New trading laws are requiring all ISP's to do this. They can no longer separate the line-rental fee from the cost of broadband and need to show a total figure inclusive of all the additional services you'll require i.e. BT Landline.

Holy thread resurrection Batman.

As Fish mentioned, all ISPs have to advertise prices as a complete package so BT is looking suddenly very expensive compared with other companies. Also if i bin BT il lose my BT email addresses i suspect so that something to consider.

I'm looking to move from Virgin too ... they have gotten so expensive, unfortunately the service you receive is absolutely fantastic i have 200mb fibre with them and it never misses a beat, never have any issues, minimal if any downtime ... Such a shame but you obviously pay a premium for it £75 a month though is
a bit more of a premium than i want to pay - Don't even watch the god damn TV that much!

[Drummond Base]

They do a slower service for less money, 100mb/s i think. ISPs that use the BT lines are maxing out at 76mb/s but are substantially cheaper.

Yeah i am going to cancel my sub with them, my contract is up in 2 weeks and going to join as a "new customer" for Broadband only no phone line no TV and get there 100mb its like £30 odd quid.

With Virgin, i thought you had to leave for i think six months before you cab considered a NEW customer.? Vodaphone is £28 a month for 76mb/s and 18 month contract but i suspect you may be able to haggle that to 12 months.
