I am moving out of the clutches of Hull's KCOM and into BT land in Lincs
and was wondering what was on offer for a basic phone line/internet
package up to 100MB per month - I currently pay £50 pm to KCOM.


almost everyone does unlimited now

and usually at much less than 50 quid

what special service are you currently buying that costs that 50 quid?


None, but living in the Hull area, I am tied to Kingston Communications so have to cough up whatever they are offering. See:

https://www.kcomhome.com/products/br...RoCrtAQAvD_BwE

Plusnet are £21/m for 30ish Mb/s compared to KC's £40.

If you need much faster speed than that - max over BT lines is typically
around 60 Mb/s - it is more expensive than KC.

I'm on 30Mb/s. It is used for 4 PCs/Laptops doing the usual things + at
least 2 devices streaming HD Netflix + a couple of TVs connected to
Sky/Netflix (Sky recorded programs are streamed live as well). All work
at the same time and never had any problem with speed.

If you want free calls as well then just buy a simple mobile for a
tenner and put a £6/month SIM in it with unlimited calls (and texts and
some data) from he https://www.plus.net/mobile/plans/sim-only/
