Vodafone home broadband only.
Fixed price - great speed (slightly cheaper if you're a Vodafone mobile client too).
No need for line rental - 
Don't need to talk to their appalling customer service centres
I don't pay for any line rental
Not tied to a cable network company
One price every month - kaboom |

Virgin Media Fibre Optic.
No line rental, fixed monthly price.
Only negative is they're not offering IPV6. Which means my NAT type can sometimes switch to strict which isn't good for gaming. A reset normally sorts it though. |

"Talktalk n it's a load of shite!
As soon as the contracts up, I'm going for BT"
Was with them years ago, bloody awful they are, connection kept dropping, and the customer services are an absolute joke. |

I'm with Virgin Media - have you just gone with broadband and the phone provided by someone else? We barely use the phone so line rental is a ridiculous cost |

Cool - I'm pondering that but having to update phone numbers everywhere could be a ball ache |

In this day and age there should be no need to pay line rental if you just want a broadband service. The big players in the industry need to pull their fingers out and follow Vodaphone's lead.
Having to pay line rental when you don't even own a landline phone is completely ridiculous.

Don't be fooled by the no line rental. All companies were told by Ofcom to include the line rental in the full price now. So before they were saying "BB for £5!" Then in tiny letters they said excluding line rental. Now they have to include that so it'll be "BB for £20!"
But Vodafone are insanely cheap for Fibre at the moment so it'll be interesting how long that lasts. I work in the telecommunications field so I take interest!
Just remember people that all companies bar Virgin use the same lines... so when shopping around, you're essentially paying for which ever has the best customer service and no usage limits. |

It may be the same line, but the providers do have their own equipment in the Exchanges
When you come to leave Sky, TalkTalk etc. You're unbundling from their equipment, and moving to another set, which can cause further delay or expense   |

A couple of friends have raved about how good the Vodafone cable package is, so thinking of switching.
Been with EE/Orange since Freeserve. Slow and crap, too keen to block sites on a whim (including this one).
All the BT users I know, complain about how crap theirs is, so I'd never go that route.

That may be true but they all use very similar Alcatel Lucent equipment in the exchange and the whole backhaul is always fibre optic. The only real service impacting part of the line is the copper line itself and all providers have to deal with the shit that is Openreach. |
