Broadband Deals and Quick News

Zen Broadband has followed many other providers in the UK in offering their own phone line rental alongside their broadband service. The service will offer two packages called Home Talk for ?10.99 a month and Business Talk for ?13.49 a month. Unfortunately the service doesn?t come with any new package deals from the provider. However, it?s worth noting that the service can be had on a 1 month rental contract, which may appeal to people who don?t want to be held down the more usual 12 or 18 month contracts.

A busy week for line rentals, Be Broadband have also announced their prices for their own landline service. Prices should start at ?9.50 for a completely basic landline designed for people who only use a land line for their broadband service. Be also provide an evening and weekends package for ?10.50 and an anytime package for ?13.50 which includes 600 minutes of free calls to 20 other countries. These prices mark out the service as being considerably cheaper than standard BT line rental.

A new promotion from Orange UK allows customers to take up their Home Max ADSL package for free for the first three months. The package comes with line rental and free evening and weekend calls for an extra ?10.50 a month. The deal comes with a free wireless router, mail and security software, but is on an 18 month contract, so may only be worth considering if you?re planning on staying put for some time!

Finally, despite kicking up a massive fuss about the now scrapped line tax that would have seen more than 50p added to the bills of everyone with a phone line, Talk Talk are rising the prices for their phone rental service by nearly the exact same amount; 55p. The company has spoken out multiple times against such a rise in prices when proposed by the government, suggested that over 100,000 of the lowest income homes could lose their net connections if such a tax was passed.
