Free broadband vs free broadband

Posted by David Meyer

Here's an interesting one - it seems that, in negotiating their new contract, Orange has persuaded Carphone Warehouse to sell its broadband product instore, right next to the (remarkably similar) TalkTalk offering.

Not sure how they managed that, but the net result is that those looking to find a pretty cheap, none-too-spectacular "converged" broadband service can size up the two main rivals in the same store.

Mind you, Orange's business broadband offering is apparently good enough for Microsoft, who've just selected it to link up 1,500 of their UK-based homeworking employees.

I've not done any of the free broadband services even though I'm subscribe to sky and I have an orange phone.

Is there a best provider out there? I think you just need to go with who suits you?

I moved over to tiscali a while ago and everythings been fine since.
