I have Orange broadband Max. It is £24 a month and covers 8mb broadband, free local, national and international phone calls and phone line rental, so I pay BT nothing!.

Broadband speeds overall have been excellent but do slow down a bit during peak times (between 6pm/10pm for me), not massively though and certainly nowhere near dialup speeds. They advertise unlimited bandwidth but in reality they allow around 40-50gb a month before giving off and pointing towards there FUP. My usage is between 20-30gb a month regularly and I've never had any complaints from them.

The 24/7 free phone calls are handled via a broadband line (simply plug a standard phone into the back of their livebox) and works really well, the standard phone line also has free phone calls in the evening and at the weekend.

Since having all this installed my broadband/phone/line rental bill has never exceeded £27 a month. The extra couple of quid is usually due to mobile phone calls. Apart from that, 30+ hours a month are free phone calls mostly generated by my girlfriend :P
