Just thought I would update as we have now got sorted.
Decided to stay with Orange
We have A Livebox Zen at €33,90 + €3,00 for the rental of the box. Total €36,90 per month.
My computer is showing we are getting 72Mbps I'm not sure if that's good, but I'm finding it super after dial-up.
We didn't go for the extra phone line as we don't use it that much (the only downside is if the internet goes off so does the phone) But we are getting Free unlimited phone calls in France and the UK, (mobiles are charged)
We can run two computers and use the phone at the same time no problem, it works using Wifi and can be used in the garden. Video's and Radio no problem. You can also get French TV by renting another box but we didn't go for that.
There is a little robot on the computer that tells me if there is a problem, you click it and he starts to fix it for you instead of phoning the help desk. Though you can still phone the English speaking help desk if you want.
So far apart from them cocking up the connection during the move, we are very happy. It's super fast with free calls, and a hell of a lot cheaper than what we were paying.
Update finished I'm off to listen to The Archers on Liveradio.fm
