BT Total Broadband packages come with free connection and hardware. On all but the most basic package, BT is offering a free BT Home Hub for wireless connection and upcoming BT services. Speeds up to 8MB, and prices from £7.95 for the first three months.

BT Broadband was recently voted top by viewers of BBC Watchdog, and BT recently started offering free (0800) technical support calls.

Every now and then, we see an offer that's too good to be true - in April 2006, TalkTalk launched "Free Broadband for life" for customers of their home phone tariffs.

There are three different tariffs - best value seems to be Talk 2, which offers:

• Free broadband - speeds up to 8MB
• Inclusive and unlimited anytime local and national UK landline calls
• Free calls to other TalkTalk customers
• Earn 2 Nectar points per £1 spent on your TalkTalk bill

This package costs £5.89 a month (in addition to the phone line rental of £10.50 a month). Compared with BT's £26.49 a month (BT line rental and BT broadband), this is a great saving.
