I know that th the original post was about pension, but you are on a tight budget and I do wonder again whether you should look at the board that your sons contribute. Locally, one room in a house share is £450, including bills. Might be time to have a word.

I have just checked I pay Plusnet £14.99 a month for internet and Tv and it also includes phone calls for an hour each time 24/7.

Blimey - how did you manage that? A few months ago, that same company put my mum's monthly bill up from approx £29 to approx £39 a month, for the same things you get.
Naturally, I instantly did some price comparisons, but the very cheapest like-for-like deal i could find was around £28 (which Plusnet then agreed to match).

Is broadband/phone like energy, where the prices vary from one area to another? (Only discovered that last year when i needed to do energy price comparisons for my mum at the same time as i was doing my own, and spotted that the unit prices we were offered were different).

MamaCaz This was my agreement with Plusnet about 6-7 years ago and for very obvious reasons I do not want to move! I am not interested in Virgin and Sky thankfully. It was really the phone contract I wanted.

Don't blame you for sticking with them, Charleygirl5 - that's a great deal!
