Hi folks. Please be gentle with a newcommer to U.K. broadband. For the past 13 years we, SWMBO and I, have lived and loved the life here in the south of France near the lovely old Cité of Carcassonne. Now we are moving back to Blighty and North Wilts. I am trying to sort out everything from the floor up in the ISP and phones markets.
Here we are on Orange France and apart from being on copper cables and too far from the exchange to get more than about a meg of upload speed we have a good service and VoIP. We have had this for several years and it is fairly standard here. It is cheap and very effecient.
My question is, is there anything like this in the U.K. ? Any info would be great as at the moment I am going round in circles and am going to start banging my head against a wall as a way of a change!
As for mobile phones, we are with Free.fr and pay 2€/month for 2 hours of calls, unlimited texts and I have no idea what internet. I am one of those strange people who use a camera to take photos, a computer to access online and a phone to make phone calls. I have a sim free phone and at the moment I have a giffgall sim ready to go in my Motorola MotoG phone when we hit U.K. soil. Once again, any ideas would be greatfully received.
