I have just received email from BT saying my option will be activated in one working day (so I guess that means by Tuesday) so my bill should read: Line rental £10.50 Calls: £0.00 evenings and weekends for 12 months Caller display: £0.00 (I don't have a phone that does that)  Bah! To quote a certain Member in this vicinity <smugsmugsmugitysmug>  |

Option 3. You get a BT home hub and 'phone which gives you free calls from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. I get them free on my landline from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. also. On the landline I've got the paper-free option. You have to think of ecology you know. :-) http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=15764 |

I saw that Milly but I pay £17.99 for my broadband with no fixed term contract, I think £24.99 after the initial period is expensive unless you download a lot. Also, I'm only at home during the day on Saturdays and Sundays so personally it wouldn't be the package for me.

I do download a lot - but my total bill this time was only £26.60 for everything. I thought that wasn't bad because I'm at home and work on the computer for a lot of the day. My calls are all free.
There seems to be a package available to fit most people though.

Must admit I'm reluctant to change either phone, broadband or electicity suppliers - there are so many horror stories I read/am told that it hardly seems worth the grief to save a few pounds. I am paying them more than I paid OneTel. Oh why did I ever leave them?  Because they're rubbish Mort? My brother changed to them at my sis-in-law's insistence but they had so many problems with them that he changed again. I pay £12-99/month for Tiscali, unlimited except by fair use. They're putting me onto an "up to 4Mb/sec" package at no extra cost but I'm never going to get that because of the distance I live from the exchange, max seems to be 1.9Mb. I might consider changing my phone line provider to them since it would save me quite a bit - but see first paragraph! |

Andy, as far as the OneTel `phone service is concerned I didn`t find them "rubbish". They did what they said on the tin. I just got so peed off with their dial-up service I switched everything to Virgin. I do wish I hadn`t changed my landline over though |

With the BT Together option £40 we have free local calls most time and our overseas calls are 3p a minute. My missus did a lot of overseas calls in Nov-Dec as we were calling Florida, New York and Jamaica arranging a family trip. We made a total of 117 overseas calls, lasting 31hrs 21mins 16secs, costing £56. When you look at all that we deserve the big bill |

I do wish I hadn`t changed my landline over though Mort, easy-peasy, just change back to One Tel for landline and use someone else for broadband innit? I had a look at Tiscali and they have a good deal for b/band, free line rental and weekend calls but they don't cover where I live at the moment for that package. |

Grrrrrrr  Sick singers! In the next 48 hours I'm faced with a Traviata without Anna Netrebko AND a now non-existent Andreas Scholl recital at the Barbican  |

I was just thinking earlier what a big responsibilty it is to be a performer that people are very keen to see - a responsibilty that some people take more seriously than others, though I'm not implying anything about these particular singers.
Traviata isn't cancelled; why is the Scholl concert cancelled? It's not just him. Can't they find another counter-tenor? Or would no-one come? It does rather look as if people are a lot more interested in the performer than the music.

Traviata isn't cancelled, but I had promised myself I wasn't going to see that production any more unless it had a seriously good cast. I've seen it... oooh, how many times? About 10, I think, with all sorts of different sopranos, and the production's never done anything for me. Fortunately, one of only two sopranos who's ever had a real effect on me in this staging* is heading the second cast, for which I also have a ticket  I would go to see practically anything with Kaufman and Hvorostovsky, but who goes to Trav for the tenor and/or baritone? I look forward to hearing the replacement, Ermonela Jaho. In a previous revival of the production, Elena Kelessidi (*the OTHER of the two sopranos I mentioned above) pulled out at short notice, and was replaced by different singers at different performances. I heard the not-very-interesting Stefania Bonfadelli; to this day I wish I'd been at the opening night, when a number of my friends were blown away by Viktoria Loukianetz, who I still haven't heard in any role. |

£26.60 for everything? Surely that's not for a quarter. If so I'm doing something terribly wrong. I'm with BT broadband and I get free calls in the evenings and weekends. My last bill (for a three-months period) came to just over £97. That included about £3.50 for calls and £80 for rental. The rest was VAT. |

I`ve checked out that option, Virgin don`t `talk` to OneTel aka TalkTalk (hah), which is why my initial set-up was so problematic. So I would have to go back to BT, thereby paying a `fine` to Virgin (I`m on a 1 year contract). If I then hopped from BT to OneTel I would have to pay BT a fine because they would want me on a 1 year contract too. The expression "short and curlies" springs to mind .... |

Do they deliver indian food? I did not even know they have veggie on menue.
1. THey may still bring it.
2. You can call and remind them.
May be they will give it to you for free (In the USA they promised to give you pizza free if they deliver it over 30 min).
