Expensive and why shouldn’t I move to another provider!

Hi All,

I’m after some advice for my package, I have broadband and landline which also links to my telecare alarm system.  I’m paying in excess of £70 for the service which i feel is a lot for a pensioner on pension credit.  I only have broadband to be able to video call family overseas and digital newspaper.  The phone i rarely use due to poor hearing.  
do BT not offer subsidies for pensioners anymore, social tariffs?  I know that Virgin will offer the same service, higher broadband speeds and an analogue fixed line for half the price of BT.

Brand loyalty means nothing and why shouldn’t I move to another provider!

So this looks like the best solution for me, I should give them a call.  Amazing that this is not an easy product to find.

I did contact them and have now been transferred to Essentials package. Thanks for the advice. Over half the cost slashed
