Just rang Plusnet up armed with the MAC code I got off Sky last week, the sales bloke told me that with line rental I can pay £29.40 for everything, that's line rental with free local calls and fast Broadband.
Thing is though, I am about 3 years into a contract with Talk Talk for my Landline, which I'd rather not change if I can possibly help it as it saves me a LOT of money ringing Mum and Dad (because they're also on Talk Talk) and the rest of my family/carers including my Brother in London.
There's about 30p difference in the monthly cost between PN and Talk Talk, should I go with it or try and negotiate a better deal which lets me keep Talk Talk?

You really had the best deal with a year's free broadband with 9 months still to go, you were advised to stay with that and are asking about cheap deals.
You have a TalkTalk line so why not their broadband?

Talk Talk is not fast enough and does not support Xbox gaming, or so I have been told.
I also don't want Sky, Sky = foreign call centres, that alone puts me right off.

Most companies now use outsourced non uk call centres.
I would hold where you are and do a little more homework on what ISP will best match your needs and uses.

Plusnet are based right here in Sheffield, UK call centres.
And I have been with most of the major providers back in the dial up days in the late 90s, I wouldn't touch the likes of AOL with a 10 foot bargepole for various reasons.

Can anyone recommend a very good UK based ISP with good UK based call centres who could do up to 10 Mb Broadband for around £12 a month? I don't want Sky, AOL or Talk Talk.
