Broadband advice

I'm scheduled to receive BT Broadband on 21/8. I currently have two phone
lines and two ISP accounts (one with BT Internet).

I'm planning on stopping my second line and cancelling both of my current
ISP accounts. Does that make sense?

Cheers.

Bobby

Not wishing to be rude, but it makes sense if that is what you want to
achieve and makes no sense if that is not what you want to achieve.

Really, noone can say what "makes sense" for you without some idea of
what end result you are trying to obtain.

e.g. if you wanted to be able to make/receieve two phone calls at once,
cancelling on of your only two phone lines would not make sense!

But if like the majority of us he simply wants to receive/ make calls whilst
on the internet or have a faster connection speed it makes perfect sense

Indeed - but without knowing what he wants, who can say what makes sense.

e.g. having two lines and two (presumably) dialup accounts is not
related. It could be two lines as he uses dialup and the phone at the
same time. It could be because he has a fax machine.

You just can't say without more information. You can't say what the
"majority" have.

It would make sense to do neither until you are sure you line has/will pass
the line loss test.

I have no idea what you mean, but getting BT Broadband makes no sense
to me.

Why are other ISPs 'batter' than BT Broadband especially when BT Broadband
aren't an ISP anyway, more an IAP.

Do you mean BT Openworld, which is a completely different offering?

What is the bad record with BT Broadband that at least 1 other poster
mentioned?

They don't have a bad record, but as you say they are an IAP and for
less money you can get a good ISP without the download limits.

Thank you for clearing up the "bad record" statement, which appeared in this
thread.

I guess it's down to individual choice at the end of the day but, it seems
to annoy some people that BT Broadband is chosen by some and it annoys me
when some people seem to suggest the people like me are mad or at the very
least daft for choosing BT Broadband.

I have been with Bt Broadband since it started and never even come remotely
near the massive 1Gb per day limit myself and have had a constant connection
without a single thing to complain about.
