    50Mb packages aren't throttled, at all, ever.

    I'm also with Be and have been very happy with it but, Been having a few issues with loss of signal for the last 2 weeks. At least it does reconnect though.

    I've been looking at moving and noticed how poor the choice is for more rural areas, Either BT ADSL or nothing.

    Is FTTC available in your area. 40mb download with upto 15mb upload.

    BT will provide the install but may ut restrictions on your bandwidth. Powernet provide unthrottled connectivity with UK support:

    Re: ISP recommendations for new place

    I also would say go with Virgin Media.

    If this isnt available then Be there - I have had both services and been happy with both providers.
