which ISP?

[gabriel]

Minimum expenses is a must! lets say 15 quid per month??

unlimited bandwith, unfortunately cant have cable here

location london! did i cover everything???

[herulach]

Unlimited bandwidth would be awesom, i assume you mean unlimeted downloads. But either way, not a chance at that price, although bt have no contacted me and i must breach the 'fair use policy' about once a week

You will not get truly unlimited for £15 a month, end of.

For £24 a month you could get Be* ... which is upto 24mb broadband... and seeming your in London you should be able to get it.

unlimited downloads sorry!!!

[frazered]

unlimited downloads sorry!!!

doesn't exist

[adam1701]

It does, but you have to pay alot!

[gabriel]

so what does it exist? interesting question

SDSL has no cap, unlimited bandwith usage.

[bomber999]

bandwidth costs money, the more you use the more your going to cost your isp. and thats the last thing they want, so prices are low with a lower bandwidth useage, if you want higher limits you're going to have to pay more, £15/month isnt going to get you nowhere near "unlimited" downloads, you would be costing your isp more than £15/month if you were to download all the time.

Entanet offers up to 8Mb30GB peak time usage + 300GB off peak usage... minimum 1 month contract.

No port blocking/throtling in place.

A couple of established Entanet resellers:

UKFSN look quite good.... on the home packages they offer.

[gabriel]

lets have a look! i am not downloading everyday every minute but a caped limit is a problem lets say 30gigs per month. Especially if you listen to online radio and tv all the time

thanks guys

Obviously everyones experience varies but a word about Entanet.

I used them for almost a year and found the support via email and general bandwdith / downloads to OK but suffered a lot from packet loss and latency at peak times. Never had any usage issues with them despite being a fairly heavy traffic person at times.

As a gamer this killed it for me, my online gaming was dead in the water so I changed (upgraded?) to a more expensive package with Zen Internet. Much faster, better speeds, low latency, good support but more £££ and I hit the 20 Gb bandwdith cap every month.

Of course, there may be many very happy Enta users out there, this is just my story.....

Don't Sky do a good package which includes phone and TV as well with a 40GB limit?

Chks

Does anyone have experience with Eclipse? They offer unlimited downloads off-peak. I called them and checked, told them I had my speed restricted by my current ISP and they said so long as I didn't exceed the peak limit (which is reasonable) I could do whatever I wanted.

UKFSN get a good write up on DSL Zone UK

I use adsl 24 who are good. 30gb on peak and 300gb off peak for 8mb. £19.99 isn't bad!
