    ISP's, is there anybody who doesnt cap

    I'm sick and tired of virgin media, if i download over 350mb a day, i am capped for my useage, which is nice of them. nobody will speak to you about broadband apart from the broadband help line, which is 25p a minute, and they are useless, just reading off the website. im sure i never agreed this when i signed my contract with them in may, but they "dont know when it came into affect".

    a) is there anything i can do, as customer service say speak to cancelations, cancelations say speak to customer service, and broadband helpline say, "errrr i dont know".

    b) are there any ISP's who don't cap/limit downloads

    Only between 4 and 9. 5 Hours isn't too bad, considering its truly uncapped at the rest of the time - that is, if you live in a decent area and can hit your max speed of course. VM seems a bit hit and miss depending on where you live

    russ, you need pay around £70-£100 a month for it or move out of the UK if you want uncap or unthrottled broadband for a reasonable prices

    Re: ISP's, is there anybody who doesnt cap

    If i was in a decent BT area I would snap it up. As it is I don't think I would get decent speeds. Is there any way to check what speeds BE could offer me?

    If you are checking out Be then check out O2 (who own Be) as well as their package can be better for some people.
