Need some advice on Broadband and mobiles.My mobile contract has just expired so I need a new one.I am just about to extend the lease on my rented cottage, and the landlady has agreed that I can have brodband installed. I have just installed CCTV at the shop which I can access remotely. My accountant has told me to put the new phone contract through the business, and I can claim the cost of broadband installation as a legitimate expense because it allows me to use my CCTV. I can't have a satellite dish on the cottage so being technically dumb what can I do here to get a good deal - is there a provider who I can get mobile and home brodband from which also gives me 400 rubbish TV channels? |

I understand Beardy Branson's Vermin Media do some such offer. |

Yup, King Pullover does such a deal and you even get BBC I player as part of the package. |

Doesn't that require cable in the area? |

Are you in a cable area or a digital tv area?
If you add a tv packge make sure you only claim for the phone / BB. I assume you have a land phone line? If so what difference does it make to the landlord? RichardW |

Don't have a landline although there is a phone socket. No cable in the area. |

So there is a physical line to the house just you dont have it turned on?
So first off get BT to activate the line, then contact bb suppliers. dont think you will get tv as well that way. Justme |

You could try the Utility Warehouse, if you're going to have to get TV via a dish - they do broadband and mobile. Comes on the same bill, all itemised; we just work out a percentage and bung it in to the accountant.
Edit: They'll get the line activated, too. |

You could install a stout post in the garden to attach a satellite dish to. As long as it's not shaded by trees or other buildngs it should work ok. |
