Broadband Bundles

broadband bundles

Broadband, telephone and TV bundles started to become popular during last year 2007 and are now being heavily advertised and promoted by several of the large ISPs. A bundle is a package deal where you buy more than one service from a single provider and then receive one monthly bill for all your usage.

Buying your broadband, telephone, digital TV and even mobile services from one supplier can offer big savings compared with using separate companies for each service. Bundles are not suited to everyone, for instance you may not be in an area where your local exchange has not been unbundled (LLU) allowing companies to install their own equipment and offer the best deals. Also being reliant on one supplier for all your services may not appeal to some. However for many of us the bigger savings and convenience of one combined monthly bill is very attractive and it looks as if the ISPs will continue to offer some great deals as they try to tempt customers away from other suppliers.

Broadband and Telephone Bundles

There are many broadband and telephone bundles, TALK TALK offer free broadband with their Talk Global Anytime and TALK Global Evening and Weekend and Virgin Media currently offer broadband for £4.50 a month when taken with a telephone service for £11 (includes line rental). Other companies that have installed their own equipment in local exchanges (LLU local loop unblundling) are able to offer good deals including Tiscali and AOL.

Triple Bundles

Several companies offer bundles of three services together, with broadband, telephone and digital TV packages available from BT, Virgin Media, SKY and Tiscali. SKY’s See Speak Surf deals start from £16 a month, that include 1 entertainment TV mix 2Mb broadband and free evening and weekend calls plus BT line rental of £10.50 or for £21 a month you can choose 6 entertainment mixes.

Virgin Media use cable to deliver their products and have several triple and even quad bundles including their "3 for £30" and "4 for £40". These packages include unlimited downloads (subject to fair use) and also include telephone line rental (no BT line needed).
