OK, so I am moving house in a couple of weeks. The house has no telephone line, for which I don't care but I need broadband, so I need a telephone line.
So far only BT and NTL support the area (aberystwyth wales) from what I know (searched wanadoo, tiscali, telewest). BT packages are a joke. With limitations of 1 to 3 GBs per month...and the only good ones are priced at 27 and 29 pounds for 2MBit connection with 15 and 30 GBs limit per month. Plus the min 10.50 or somethign for phone line, plus 75 initial cost for isntalling the line.
So, I said, screw them I will try to get NTL. They have the freedom packages with only 512K but with unlimited eh limits, so that is good! They also have a package for 16.99 that includes this broadband together with a phone line rental! So I was all set, went through the online thingy and then it asked me for my BT line number... So, I called NTL (about 5 min ago) and asked them WTF is going on. Apparently I need to have a BT line installed (and thus contract with them for 12 months), to get the phone line from NTL, which means another 16.99 in addition to the 10.50 per month, plus the 75 for installing the line. FFS!
Does any of you know of any other broadband providers that support the area that do not have such stupid limitations?
