Satisfaction rating

TalkTalk has somewhatshaken off the poor image it gained when it launched its 'free'broadband a couple of years back,and its Which? customer score isn't bad.For value for money it does better than any bundle provider except Utility Warehouse,though it's customer service is only average.

Satisfaction rating

Though sitting in the middle of the survey for Which? customer score.Tiscalli has a higher proportion of dissatisfied customers (10%)than most other bundle providers in the survey.This suggests its service levels can be hit and miss-which is confirmed by a mediocre customer service rating-though its fares better than most bundle providers for value for money.

Satisfaction rating

Virgin media has an average Which? customer score,though those who have mobile bundled in rate this highly-more than half are very satisfied with this.It scores higher than most for customer service,but it is let down by a poor score for value for money.

46% Orange

Orange bundles are available to anyone,but the company offers a £10 discount on each package to orange mobile-pay-monthly customers.You'll need to commit to an 18-month contract to take up one of Orange's three home phone and broadband deals.

Satisfaction rating

Though not alone as one of the worst performers in terms of Which? customer score.Orange has the highest proportion of unhappy customers-15% are very or fairly dissatisfied with its overall service.Its 'very good' cores for value for money and customer service are both below average.

46% BT

BT offers a good degree of choice.However,bundles including unlimited broadband and/or anytime UK calls can work out more expensive than rival deals.Bundles with a TV element include BT Vision.It's a flexible way of accessing digital TV,but set-up costs can add up,and tarrifs can be confusing.

Satisfaction rating

BT joins Orange as one of the poorest-rated companies in the survey in terms of its Which? customer score.Despite being the biggest home phone service provider in the UK.BT was rated below average for most aspects of its service,and has the lowest value-for-money score of all bundle providers.
