sounds like a good rate - id go with that if halifax weren't so ****. they've screwed me about SO many times and have messed up practically everything ive ever done with them. i prefer to keep my money in decent places like firstdirect, natwest and egg, all of whom have never messed up for me.
thisismoney.com will have a list of the best deals at the moment altho you'll be hard pressed to beat 7%.

Abbey offers more or less the same thing [7.00% gross fixed], but allows savings of £20 to £500 a month.

Later:- Sorry for repeating what others have already said (phone call half way through typing response

Halifax 7% odd rate is really a bit of con to get new customers- you can only save so much each month, and I think the 7% is only for 1year. ING is the best due to great real rate of 5% and no gimmicks, instant access etc.
Oh and if you go Halifax youre also funding their adverts with that annoying tosser in - so surely a good enough reason alone not to use Halifax products!!
