I'm sorry but i dont want to jack

[nvening]

Im finally getting my gayOL AOL contract ended, its been AOHell. lol.

I want fast 2mb+

But, i dont want to go much (if any) for £30 a month.

Also, Bulldog, i dont like the phone and (apparently) bad customer service.

I dont download much but i would like a mininum of 15GB

When is NTL gunna upgrade? Cable vs ADSL (i alredy have an adsl router, which is new)

[Dougal]

NTL have their service at 30GB p/m

Demon Internet - 2Mb connection and unlimited downloads/usage for £19.99 per month. Will work fine with your router too (as will any other ISP).

oh and i really dont want a 12 month contract

oh and i really dont want a 12 month contract

Plus.net charge you £11.75 but you get monthly rather then yearly contract

[nvening]

im already on aohell so it will be free. Plus net seem to be the cheapest, i think i can get 2meg in my area. (i would expec 20meg the whole of the uk if u ask me)

when is this new bt thing coming? anyway

is upload important, im talking gaming, i dont file share/ upoload alot

EDIT: what about this connection ratio? Im gaming here

is a 30:1 worth £7 a month extra over 50:1 ?

[TheAnimus]

depends on you area, really if you don't pirate or can set up a good bandwidth limiting.
no its not worth it.

[nvening]

mabe ill go for the 15.99 one then, ill see what the download limits are.

[Rabs]

If you go on PN's Broadband Plus at £14.99 you'll find that P2P is so severely limited they might as well block it (10KB/s max).

The £21.99 Broadband Premier doesn't have the same throttles as the BB+ and is fine for P2P. However if you go over 100GB per month you'll be contacted about overuse (cap that isn't a cap but is a cap etc).

Judging by your OP your not a heavy user anyway.

[Wiczy]

Freedom2Surf = £25 for up to 8mb depending on your exchange.

[nvening]

AH, dont think i can get 2meg, man. Whats the best 1meg then lol

I dont do P2P or downloafd alot

But i do game and leave it on and use it alot lol

[Rabs]

You'll find that theres very few 1MB services 'as such'. You'll see that the various ISP's will provision your line upto its maximum speed. Say you went with Demon or PN, you would pay £14.99 or £19.99 (whatever) and your line will simply sync at its fastest speed be it 512K, 1Mb or 2Mb.

[nvening]

some companys say i can get 2 meg but zen and bt say i cant, and they also seem to get more info about the line so i guess im on 1 meg

[Rabs]

They cant guarantee that you will get 2Mb though, so dont believe the marketing. You'll find 'upto 2Mb' in small type on the advert and/or in the terms and conditions. Its line length and BT which define the final speed your line will sync at (without getting very technical).

[nvening]

If i can only get i meg is freedom2surf still the best bet?

[Rabs]

Well the makets changed over the past few weeks (Plusnet/AOL moved the goalposts etc/Demon have carp speeds) - I think you've hit the nail on the head there, wether you sign up to a 2Mb service (or 'upto 2Mb' - as the terms and conditions will tell you) - your still limited by line length/BT's limits - at the time of writing F2S offers 'unlimited' for the best price (& performance).
