    BT broadband business vs residential

    I've recently moved house and now have superfast broadband available.

    I used to have standard broadband under a business account but the cost of a business bt infinity package seems extortionate compared to residential. You don't get bt sport etc either.

    I'd like to keep broadband and phone as a business expense as it helps keep me under the higher rate threshold but not sure now.

    Do any other providers do competitive business deals? Moneysupermarket lists loads in my area but it all seems to be residential and I CBA to talk to any sales people so I'm asking here instead

    Where do you live roughly? Oh and unless you have another non-business broadband account then you are only going to be able to claim a proportion.

      The main difference (as I see it) between BT Business and BT Residential is the hub and the support.

      Why would residential be a problem for you?

            I like to expense as much as I can to keep below the upper rate threshold

                  Bit of a grey area, surely. You need to have BB in order to comply with all the online filing requirements etc. So claim for it.
