Ok I apologise for those that may need to repeat themselves to help me in my search, but finding the right broadband service is proving pretty difficult.
Firstly let me explain the situation, In september me and 4 others (5 in total) will be moving into uni accomodation in Durham (DH1 1JX) and after checking we can get 2Mbps on standard ADSL or around 6.5Mbps ADSL Max. I have a DG834GT wireless modem that supports ADSL2+, is this ADSL MAX compatible? WHat is ADSL max and which ISPs provide this service?
Ok after initial questions...
The predicament, we really need an unlimited / unmetered service that is relatively reliable whereby i won't have to keep on calling the customer service reps at the ISP. Between 5 people it is going to be difficult to get a decent service, as some people are likely to be using P2P services so i guess an ISP that doesnt block ports could be useful. Also a low ping is pretty important for me as i will be hoping to be gaming(and continue the thrashing of the hexus clan members

And us being student it needs to be as cheap as possible. However between 5 people per week the cost isnt going to be 'that' great. Also I would prefer only a 12 month contract in case we are unhappy with the service in that year.
I have come across Demon HomeOffice 2Mb, which supposedly has less blocked ports and more reliable, but i have heard bad stories about demon, HomeOffice costs £24.99 per month.
Ideally as well we dont want to pay a connection charge or anything like that.
Any minute bit of help would be very much appreciated.
Ian
