Pipex 1mbit ADSL, £23.50/mo.

Same as the others, normally beet everybody to spawn

WOuld have gone Telewest, but they are a bunch of rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish and only offer dialup around here. Even if you have cable TV no broadband, and the only subscription package they offer is AOL NICEEEEE

I vote for Nildram as well - very good with no problems so far since my local exchange was enabled in 2004 (after a lot of campaigning )

check out E7 broadband guys!

www.e7broadband.com

Ive been using it for almost a year now! 2mbps for £13 a month it works out, only thing is you have to pay all the money upfront - which i actually like, cause thats it done and dusted for 2 yrs for me!

No download limits, 50mb webspace loadsa emails (im havent even used em yet) and even better a static ip.

check it out!

Can anyone name me some that are not capped at all? I download alot and do not like to be limited. Unfortunatly plusnet have just decided to cap my line becuase of this.
A**holes.

Steer well clear of this company.

Utility Warehouse (My other Post) ain't capped, it's great.

[Funkstar]

Zen are uncapped, but you pay a premium for it, expect to pay a good few £ more than plus net for uncapped broadband.

[neonplanet40]

its zen i am most likely going to get. I dont mind paying more tbh. Are zen getting 4mb and 8 mb anytime soon?

NTL 2mb i only pay £19.99 a month i just phone up and complain and i get great deals last year i got prem plus free and i get sky sports free 2mb broadband should be £24.99 so phone disconnections and complain.
I got a email from them saying from Jan 2006 no more capping.

[Funkstar]

no idea about Zen going to 8mbit. I would imagine so if they want to stay compretative with the headline grabbers. The only reason they stick in my head is they have been around for *years* (i remember they got great reviews for their 56k speeds) and ADSLGuide speek about them quite a bit.

It's ok for these companies to offer 8mb connection but if your BT exchange doesn't support it you won't get it, we have a 1mb connection with Nildram, meant to be 2mb but won't get it until BT upgrade the exchange

[GFiSH]

I've upgraded my connection with Freedom 2 Surf from 2mb to MAX which is supposedly anything up to 8mb, I only get 4mb and it seems a lot more unrealiable than it was. Customer service atr F2S has really gone downhill over the last few months. I will probably look to change when my 12 months is up, another 9 or 10 to go yet though.

Bulldog is uncapped, service has been decent but you need to get their phone line but for £40 a month for phone and net its not bad at all!

this looks good https://www.bethere.co.uk/homebroadband.do when i finish the contract with bulldog i might go with them!

[Funkstar]

as long as they have their support sorted out, they have bee slated for this in the past

[eloquence]

Be have made significant progress on their support.
I spent 2 months trying to get a service with them, during which time their support response times, etc were gradually improving, decided to opt for Bulldog instead, and cancelled. Bulldog said 3 months to deliver, and Be came back and (on prompting) offered some free time for the problems, and said they could deliver within a couple of weeks once a new MAC code was supplied.
They then phoned me to keep checking for a MAC code (which they'd never done before... i'd had to phone them), and once I got my existing provider (F2S, whose support has really gone downhill in my opinion, they had been really good initially) to give me a new MAC code, Be quickly processed it and got a date, the box arrived on the expected day, the service was enabled on the right day, the following day I had a 'feedback request' from them to ask if everything was OK.
Since the speeds I was getting were in the 6mbit mark (which is probably about as fast as I need for the time being, and over 1mbit upstream compared to the max of 1.3, which is more important to me), I sent the stats the bebox was giving and asked for some feedback.
They responded fairly promptly giving my line distance, and what the expected speed range would be (so I established at 3km from the exchange I'm not getting much better than that), but all in all they've completely turned it round on the service front.
Before: 30+ minutes holding to get through to someone, who'd promise to phone you back and wouldn't, no response to emails or tickets
After: Quickly through to someone, did get calls back, did get responses to tickets.
In the space of now 3 months, they've come a long way - hence I've updated my review on ISPReview to give them a few more points.
If anyone does decide to go for Be, pm me and I'll get an invite to you offering a free months service... I doubt you'll get that close to 24mbit unless you are very close to an exchange, but so far I'm not too disappointed with the improvements in service efforts.

[aphex]

I'm on F2S uncapped and its supposed to be upto 8mb but I sync at 4mb and recently ~3mb...frequent drops, lags a lot too ffs. £24.99 for complete crap...but I can't find anywhere cheaper or more reliable to go cos Zen costs way too much!

[Trippledence]

I have an IDnet up to 2mb Conection, which is exelent, get 60k downloads on my 512 line and used to get around 52 with plusnet.
