Peed off with BT

[Gizmo]

Well as the title says it.

Peed of with BT (or British Tw$$s) and was hopin to move over to cable broadband but just found out that all the lines are used in the area so have stay with the overcharging, money-racking twits


So the cost of BT Line and the ISP (no problems with and didn't want to lose but BT *******) approx £30 a month instead of £10 a month for cable and no usage levels like my current ISP

Give for example TISCALI a ring they do a package. You Use the same phoneline.

i just renewed my mobile contract with orange and got a deal on my b/band a £35 p/m phone contract and free b/band with unlimited usage.
The thing is i am already with orangeb/band since it was freeserve for the last 5 years and oroange never even offered the deal i just got so i was paying £28 p/m b/band and £25 p/m phone before i swapped from o2.
So now i pay £35 p/m mobile ,b/band and when i get the new orange b/band box then i will have free landline calls aswell

I have been with Freeserve since it started, moving from them to Wanadoo and now Orange. I have just changed my broadband subscription after checking the current rates and finding that for ££'s less per month I can now get up to 8MB and unlimited usage

They have sent me the 'Live Box' for wireless broadband and free phone calls.

My question is... I have already got a wired/wireless system set-up, can I configure the 'Live Box' just for the free phone calls, or do I have to junk my current system?

Your thoughts please

BTW why is 's c r a p' in the bad word filter?

last q first...cause it has the word c r a p in it.
i suppose if you got a double socket for the lines to go into then yes you could keep your old set up aswell.I too have got a router with 3 sometimes 4 computers wired up to it so i will be looking to see if i can keep my old system

UPDATE...

I hate to dissapoint you but I have set up the Live Box OK for wireless etc but when that is connected to the phone line as well as my original router - both do not work

So do I take it that two routers on one line won't go?

Bugger !

Looks like I won't be able to take advantage of the FREE telephone calls from Orange as I don't want to get rid of the original router coz it serves wired as well as wireless PC's and it's set-up with a remote printer as well.

C R A P !!

Unless anyone knows different?

Well, as i'm going to have 2 stay with bt, i've been lloking round at better deals than orange (always been with them since freeserve and dial-up days).

Yes u can get a mobile deal etc with em, but i'm on t-mobile at a reduced rate due to a mate working for them.

Anyone using Sky broadband? any issues

No personal experience of it, but knowing Sky, they'll end up shafting you at some point. I'd personally steer clear of theirs.
