Recommend me an ISP :)

[streetster]

As Title

requirements -

no-limits/high usage quota (eg 50gb/month or something)
2mbit
around £20


Its gonna be shared between 4 people hence why I want to get 2mb - oh and it has to be on a BT line as we cant get NTL/Telewest in our road

Thanks

[streetster]

ok tiscali 2mb for £18 seems a decent deal, can anyone tell me why i shouldnt get it?

[specofdust]

They provide god awfull service. They will most likely send you letters if you actually use your connection much complaining of high usage, even if it isn't that high.

www.adslguide.org is the place to compare different services. Tiscali are bad.

Freedom to surf would be a good idea if you can stretch, or Zen, but they cost tonnes of money, so you probably wont be willing to go with them(which is a shame, they're pretty much the best).

I would think F2S would be your best bet.

bethere...

24 pounds a month for upto 24 Mb ADSL2+ with a 1Mb upload

check availability here

Ukonline, your exchange needs to be easynet enabled tho... i have 8meg (24.99 pm) and no limits. Soon to be 24meg which'lll be fun.

[streetster]

Max I can get on this line is 2Mb.

Just checked and apparently 'Broadband is already enabled on this phone number'.

Does that mean that the previous tennants havent cancelled their broadband? what can i do? what a pile of arse

[spiral out]

I would recomend f2s as well. they offer a great service.

[specofdust]

It might mean that, not 100% sure though. It might just mean that your line is able to take DSL. Call BT, they can possibly tell you

[streetster]

gonna phone 150 when i get home

Freedom2Surf is the way to go. Awesome ISP

[tim_n]

anyone had any experience with Zen? I'm on griffin and I'm cheesed off that I'm being charged £25 for a poky little 512K line... I barely even get 407k on it most the time!

[tim_n]

f2s looks better actually - what's the upload speed on a 2mb home line? I'll be upgrading...

[Goberpiles]

I am with Freedom to surf, have been for the past 3 years and they have been excellent.

I am on Zen, and I am happy with them. I would agree that £25 is a little high for 512K these days, though it was not when I signed up about a year ago. On the plus side, they have given me 8 static IP addresses at no charge. (Something that almost no other ISP offers), and they have not complained at my frequent bittorent usage.

Streester,

I moved out of parents in Feb this year and if I do checker on there number it states that BB is still enabled on there line when it isnt, its probably BT havent updated their database however if you proceed with an order I am sure the ISP you choose will be able to resolve this

Anything other than AOL, Tiscalli, Bulldog and Onetel
