Which providers do you guys use? Is it through choice or necessity (location availability)?
What's the best deal?
Who provides the best quality?
I am on BT with:
Fibre with Halo 1 (67Mbps) Broadband (currently getting 58Mbps)
Pay-as-you-go landline calls
Free access to all BT wi-fi hotspots across the country
1TB Cloud Storage
Free Norton Virus Protection for 15 devices
BT TV Box Pro (1TB 4K/HDR)
VIP TV which includes:
Disney+ - subscribed separately @£79.90 per year
Prime Video - Free with Amazon Prime @£79.00 per year.
For the whole lot not including Disney+ and Prime Video, my monthly bill is £155. I've just upgraded my sim deals to move to EE which was a better deal BT said. I used to think that was steep and was thinking of moving to Sky but when I started adding the same packages, I was over £100 in no time at all. They're sending me the TV Pro 4K/HDR box and the cheaper sims next week so I think I've maxed out on what I can get from them. I'm just waiting for Full Fibre to become available in my area.
And I thought I was paying over the odds but then I don't have any expensive phone contracts and I've never been one for changing phones every year anyway as I usually have a work phone too.
In terms of service quality, I have to say that BT have been pretty rock solid, at least in my area. They did add two more sims to my account instead of just upgrading my existing ones, but that's been sorted today but overall, I can't really complain about the customer service either, they do act pretty sharpish.
What do you guys have and how do the prices compare with providers in other countries. I've heard that Virgin Media drops out of service on a regular basis? I was on Sky years ago and only moved to BT for the free BT Sport when they got the CL and EL rights.
