Well, if you have Sky telly then Sky LLU is worth considering as their package prices are good. If you use Freeview then TalkTalk LLU is really cheap and their forum support is great (though not so their phone support). BE do some interesting products as well, especially if you want LLU ADSL with no phone line. All of these services rely on a good phone line though, so it all depends on that. Also BE and Talk Talk rely on BT to do the engineering so it can be a bit of a disjointed experience getting anything done. I have no idea if Sky use BT to do their engineering or not.

Certainly, most providers follow BT's lead with phone tariff price rises. VM are a little better in this regard as they don't always seem to follow the BT tune, at least they haven't moved evening rates from 18:00h to 19:00h, but their call charges are not the best and the additional cost for Caller Display seems outdated.

The key is packages, as always.
