If you’re an existing Sky customer you can get broadband for free – you’ll need a BT line and their cheapest package is either £10.50 a month or £11 and this includes free weekend and evening calls.
Give your answer to this question below!
If you have a 3 mobile contract, then their half price mobile broadband would be worth a look, if you only want a landline for broadband.

Even at full price, if you really don’t care about landline and don’t already have one, then mobile broadband may work out bettter than paying line installation charges – just watch the cost of out of bundle Megabytes, as going just a few over can rack up a huge cost – the fringe cost is typically £100 per GB, that 10p per MB soon adds up, so you really do not want to be going over.
i heard the cheapest was talk talk but also that they were rubbish.
I have recently heard that Talk Talk offer the cheapest deal.
basically then you are looking for the best broadband only deal.
you do have to pay for line rental, for which you have 2 options. BT, or Virgin Media.
Virgin Media have the best deal. If you are in a cable’d area, then it costs just £9 a month for basic 2mb broadband. This price includes line rental, and does not include phone.
If you go with other providers, then you will need a BT line, which will cost £10.50 a month, plus whatever cost for the broadband that the provider charges. Beware, as there are hidden charges all over the place with some providers, and some will also bill you for telephone usage too.

My presonal reccomendations are either:
1 – Go with Virgin Media
or
2 – BT line with O2 billing.
(If you go with any other provider than BT, you may have to have the BT line for 3 months befor being able to migrate services to another provider)
Please take my advice here when i say AVIOD TALK TALK like the plague!!!! (unless you like having intermittant connection loss, slow speeds, over payments, abysmal customer services based in india, and even worse tech support)
