UK Broadband ISPs? Thread

I'm currently looking for a good reliable ISP now we've got Broadband available in our area. Should have unlimited usage and at least 512K. Any help is appreciated

Well I use Tiscali and there decent if you havent seen the ads yet 512k for 15.99/month no limits.

I hope you find one Spammer, I have not talked to you in weeks (or week, I forget which )

Who are you with at the moment? Do they not do broadband..

I'm with BT, on a 2Mbit connection

chis : How much ? and what limits ?

I like I said am with Tiscali on a 2Mbit connection but with 15Gb limit for £19.99/month.

bleh, ya there's a limit , we pay er £28 or £30 a month, 30GB/month limit as far as I know.

Although it's a great stable connection

If you get BT in your area, I'd say go with them. We're on the 2mb/s (about $30/mo iirc), but the standard is a 1mb/s for something like £20/mo

Nice and solid, I think the cap is 30gb/mo (No worries, you're not gonna hit it )

I know people that can hit it, which is quite insane

Lol, probably got a bit carried away with the pr0n...

Lucky damn you, cheap arse broadband you have in the UK. We pay about 25 of your english pounds for a 256Kb ADSL connection with a 10GB limit.

we have 512kb unlimited for 60 aus dollars a month we are with datafast

I'm with Telstra.

I wouldn't mind being on Bigpond cause they get live streaming AFL and V8 supercars rounds. Bigpond is expensive though.

How can they call it an 'unlimited plan' if there's a 12gb limit =/ .

Sue them for false advertising .

uh uh see thats where they get ya you have 12gb where theres basically unlimited speed once you go over that you get capped down to a disgraceful 28.8kb BUT can still download as much as you like (if possible at that speed)

Yeah we have that as well if you are in the top ten downloaders for that month your speed is capped for a week. Its called the "fair go" policy.

plusnet do that, from what i've heard

'fair use' policy, if you download ridiculous amounts of gigabytes in like say a week, they will just shun you onto a slow pipe with like a 28k connection

I think it's quite fair tbh

i'm on 56k.. my provider don't do broadband in my area
i hate blueyonder for that.

56k three ways is no fun.

i have t-online adsl 1 mbit no limits just disconnects every 24 hours so u cant run a server off it. I think we pay 30 euros/month for both provider and dsl connection. But its nice and stable and so far i have had no problems at all.
