Looked all round the place Joe, I was going to go with Tescos but they charge a fee of about 230 quid if you cancel during the contract and won't transfer to another address.

I'm hoping to move so don't want to be tied it to summat like that

Will check the Lewis site - thanks Joe x

Hi Veggie, i have Sky, TV. phone and broadband, but i dont think you have to take the full package. You need the phoneline, of course to get broadband. I am sure there is a price comparison website, cant remember the name offhand. Have a look around Google, it is very confusing and i wish you luck ! Look at BT offers, i saw an advert the other night, they are doing some deals , and if its a straight transfer over, i dont think they take a fee for joining them, but dont quote me on that

Thanks Skylark. Son wants to do the Sky package but I won't have Murdoch carp in the house! I've had a look at Orange re the link from Martin Lewis's site (thanks Joe) and may go with them - I'll have to get son to have a look and check there's no cancellation fee if we move.

I'm with ADSL24, a British based ISP.  It was recommended on the old C4 forum years ago and I've been with them ever since.  I believe there is no fee for cancellation, well there certainly wasn't when I joined.  You can even get your MAC code straight away online if you want to leave.  They have a range of packages.  I don't say they are the cheapest but I have always found them reliable.  If you have a query about anything you raise a ticket with them (ie leave a question) and they get right back to you.  Worth checking out to see if it would suit your requirements.

Ooh thanks Squiggle, I'll go and have a look

I've been trying to get rid of Talk Talk for ages.  Trying to get a MAC code from them is proving to be a painful business

Have a look at O2 as well, Veggie. Personally I've got the Demon small business package - high download limit and you just have to have a BT phone line.

Thanks PC, I'm bookmarking all the suggestions so son can have a look at them tonight. It's the hidden stuff as well to consider like the sly charges they put on if you move home etc,

Avalon - Talk Talk is so bad it's a joke. Son was with Tiscali for about 3 years and it was excellent performance. Since TT took over it is rubbish, disconnects all the time, limited connectivity etc etc.

I hate TT with a vengeance now

Thanks everyone son is talking to Orange now and sorting it out after looking through all the suggestions.

Thanks again x

Avalon, we've had a problem with this as, when my son cancelled the account last week, they didn't give him the code. We've signed with Orange now but they called tonight and said we need the code (other son who has set up the Orange a/c neglected to tell me he had to sort it )

Anyway I called Talk Talk and surprise surprise they have no one who can give it to me until tomorrow. But searching online they apparently are legally obliged to give you the code within 5 days - just quote that at them and see if it helps.

The operative I spoke to tonight told me that their policy is give the code immediately when it is asked for. I will try that tomorrow and heaven help them if they muck me about.

Good luck with getting yours
