    Question which ISP?

    Hey well after years of using AOL im finally fed up. Its way to expensive (im currently paying £27 a month for 2mb broadband) there customer service is disgracefull. I want to switch ISP, but cant chose ive been looking at tiscali quite closely its cheap and fast. I want atleast 2mb, unlimited downloads and for around 10-15 pounds a month, which i think is fair. And every time i find one i like i read reviews and i havent found one ISP, by which a majority of the reviews praise them most of the ISPs ive looked at have bad reviews and customer service ands so on. Please help me!

    Virgin is variable depending upon where you are.
    if you are in a cabled area I would say go for it as in my experience cable is better than ADSL but if you aren't I think that Be/O2 would be better.

    Bit more than you want to pay. But I moved to ADSL24 last year. 30GB for £19.99.

    I think 30GB would be usless to me as my line can only get around 5-6mb max. 02 was looking so good untill they said they dont have broadband packages in my area! I guess ill give virgin a go then. thanxs guys

    Sorry I was not very clear. 30GB is the max download allowance per month.

    Virgin is very reliable and not create any problem like line busy or connection failed. It is a better option.
