    Provider for student accommodation

    Hi,

    I live in a student accommodation and had virginmedia broadband until last week when they decided to disconnect my internet service because my new housemate took out virginmedia broadband. I was told that they have a policy of only one connection per house and they disregarded the fact that I've been with them for almost 3 years.

    Nice people didnt even bother to warn me before they cut me off.

    Cut short i need a new provider.


    No More than 8Mb
    Unlimited downloads
    Decent Fair use policy
    My other housemate already has SKY TV, Broadband and phone line already.


    So what are my options?? Thanks in advance

    Is this a private house you are sharing? Why not split the broadband and pay for a half?

    You will need a separate phone line for an additional ADSL service - you cqannot have two service provisions (from different providers) on the same line.
