I'm close to the end of my contract with TT (thank heavens), and am now trying to decide where to go.
I did have Plusnet & The Phone Coop as options, but the advice I have been given so far has turned me against them, especially Phone Coop as I understand that they use Opal/TalkTalk. If this is true them I will be subject to TT's spying software, which is one of the main reason I want out. Similarly I'm not overly been to have PlusNet, as they are effectively BT by another name.
I am on LLU with TalkTalk and a non-geographic phone no. I would very much prefer to retain this number. Because Phone Coop piggy-back Opal I imagine it could well be the easiest & quickest changeover but the spying thing, apart from TTs legendary incompetence, is a very big issue.
I have no trust in BT either so, unless anyone can convince me otherwise, TT & Plusnet are dead in the water.
My preferences are
UK based support, (reliable, knowledgeable & readily available)
Phone & BB package, rather than separate providers
Up to 25/30gb per month, may be a bit less as I don't stream films etc. but I do use an
internet radio most evenings for a couple of hours.
As quick & hassle free a changeover as possible
Retention of existing phone number if possible.
Cost is a factor, obviously, but I don't expect it to be as cheap as TT, (currently about £30 per month all inc).
That's about it, (don't want much do I
)
