Default Broadband and phone reccomendations..

I currently have BT for phone and Tiscali for broadband.
I am now thinking of lumping all together i.e line rental calls and broadband..

This is who I have so far as options -

BT
Pipex
Bulldog.

Anyone got any reccomendations they can make against these or for uther suppliers?
I have my mac code and am ready to go!

p.s cant get cable in my area!! (shame)

I'd probably give Bulldog a miss to be fair, I'm issuing a county court summons on them this week, this might give you an idea of the relationship they have with their customers

BT for phone line (£11 per month)
Sky Broadband for, er, broadband (£10 per month 16mbit/s / unlimited)
18185.co.uk for all calls (5p connection; no per minute charge)

These "all-in" packages are a waste of time.
