You probably won't have much choice. Cable supplier, telephone supplier, or possibly by satellite.

Where I live it is Shaw Cable, Telus, or Bell satellite. I get it all bundled from Shaw; 60+ TV channels, high-speed internet and digital landline. All for about $120 a month. Long-distance charges to the UK are 5 cents a minute and for the amount I use the phone it's not worth the effort of trying anything else. If you are going to call the UK a lot then Skype seems the popular option.

Cell phones are a different matter but I'll let everyone else rant on about them.

I don't think $120 is that bad for cable TV bundled with internet and telephone. I doubt you'll find many deals in the UK for HD TV, 10+Mbs internet + phone with international calls at 3p/minute for much less than that.

Maybe I'm out of touch with UK pricing, but we were paying around 30 GBP for broadband and telephone from BT and 50 GBP for Sky+ (without HD, but with movies).

I don't have any complaints with the service we have with Shaw (so far, well apart from the PVR being a bit crap).

it might be comparabl;e .. lets see

BT line rental, like 40pounds a quarte?
Sky BB 1.5 meg, broadband base, (best my line could take) free
Sky talk 5 pounds a month 20 countries free upto an hour
local/natiional calls free upto an hour 24/7
Sky basic package about 20 pounds a month

This was in 2005 - things were different then. Either way, you're just going to have to suck it up.

Depends very much where you decide to live. I'm in a brand new apartment building so I get 25mbps fibre optic for free until october... then I have to start paying $40 or so a month, which for the speed is still very reasonable. Thats with Telus.
