    DSL + Unlimited downloads on the cheap

    Hi All,
    I've been asked to find a provider to put ADSL into a rental flat for a mate. He's basically going to let it out furnished with Broadband. The connection doesn't need to be particularly quick - 512kb would probably be OK, but it DOES have to have no download cap, or a cap which will throttle back the speed and not incur any costs.

    Anyone know of such a provider?

    Cheers...

    Tom

    If your area is served by UKOnline / Be then go for it, the limit is like 500G+ which you probably can't break.

    Otherwise I would recommend Zen 256kbps but probably too slow for you.

    I don't think there is any isp that gives you unlimited anymore.
