I'm moving next month and considering my BB options. Here is the short list:
ADSL24 - Fibre30
BE - Unlimited
Virgin - XL
Sky - Unlimited
My new place is 2026m away from the exchange, plenty of options:
BT Wholesale ADSL
BT Wholesale ADSL Max
BT Wholesale WBC (21CN)
BT Wholesale SDSL
BT FTTC
AOL LLU
O2 / Be LLU
Bulldog LLU
TalkTalk (CPW) LLU
Sky Broadband / Easynet LLU
Tiscali LLU
Tiscali TV (via Tiscali LLU)
Orange LLU (Formerly Wanadoo)
Virgin Media (Cable)
I have been a previous subscriber to Virgin's ADSL service and i pledged i would never ever use Virgin again, although i understand their cable service is somewhat better providing you don't require any assistance. The main thing putting me off Virgin is there ridiculous fair usage and bandwidth throttling policy.
I'm tempted by BE as they get pretty good reviews and would appear cost effective. ADSL24 have been good to me for 4 years but there are cheaper options.
So to sum up, Virgin probably have the best speed / price ratio but not sure if i want to use them again. 5.5Mbps or greater is the predicted ADSL2+ speed.
Given my options, which would you recommend? Far to many choices![]()
