Default Utilities + broadband recommandations?
Hi,
Boring I know, but about to sort another tariff for dual fuel and changing my broadband provider.I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on who to use or who to stay clear off?

I am currently with BG (dual fuel) & AOL unlimited.
Thanks,
Steve

Cant beat Fibre Op cable set up for Broadband, so either Virgin or Sky, depends on who you can get. My only gripe is we cant get either here

EDF Blue+ was the best deal when we swapped gas & electric.

That was before the latest round of price increases, so is probably a touch out of date.

Been with Plusnet for broadband for years and recently switched to fibre and phone line, haven't been able to fault them, very fast, upload and download speeds are only limited by my wireless connection, get around 75mb/s if I use a lan cable to the router.

Bit infinity2 for me 72mb down 19mb up and ping 9ms

Gas and electric I use Utility Warehouse, cheap as chips and no problems, they also do broadband and home phone but I use bt for their Infinity.

You can get fibre from BT, Plusnet, Sky, Talktalk

We are currently using Talktalk combined phone and interwebs deal here (its the cheapest!) no problems with the service.
Speed is location specific for everyone (everyone will be different) depending on Cable quality and distance to cab that goes for normal dsl aswell as FTC solutions.

As we moved last week we've just been through the same process. Gone with BT Infinity (so i can get free BT Sport footy ) and dual fuel with Good Energy. Hadn't heard of them before but they scored highest in the most recent Which survey for energy suppliers - and so far so good.
