Ok, so who would you go to for broadband?
I'm in my new house and currently don't have a BT line.
Advice please?

If your an O2 customer you can get on their broadband package which is cheap and fast, but you'l need to get a BT line installed/re-enabled...

Exactly!!! and also "we will need to escalate your problem to advanced technical support phone back after 72 hours it will be fixed by then."...and their tec support is in india and just consists of some poor sap that only reads from scripts in very bad pigeon english that always ends with the same result "we'll have to order a line test, please phone back in 5 days!"
O2's is £12.50 a month or £7.50 subject to terms if you'r an O2 customer (thats 8MB on phone line) and they will do upto 20MB aparently (£15ppm for O2 customers or £20 public)

if you can get cable then defo get cable (check your postcode on virgin media website), if you cant then go with BT.
mobile broadband is slow and crap, but it is convenient and good enough if you dont want to play games or watch vids on youtube or download anything like software or music. so basically its only good for browsing the web.
many ISPs that use BT lines are useless especially when there is a problem. BT still manage the lines no matter who you go with.
i went through hell with talktalk and toucan, i'd rather hang myself that go with either of them ever again.

The most annoying thing is that after 3 days the fault report is removed from their system! Go here http://www.orangeproblems.co.uk/phpBB2/ and there's the direct phone number for escalations, tech support won't give it out.
