    Best isp for games, CS:S and Battlefield

    What is the best UK isp, which will give me unlimited time to play... and low pings all of the time?

    Thanks.

    I get 26 latency with Be*. Surprising since i'm on a Wireless connection while another box is uTorrenting and my other 2 house mates are playing as well. Could be worth a look

    Know a couple of people on IDNet, and they have never had any troubles, one is a prolific downloader aswell (he just keeps it all off peak)

    Customer Service is top notch apparently aswell.

    yah limits r ga y, anyway it seems you can't get ntl either. there's none others that i know of. i guess if your in a bad location then your bound to not be able to recieve certain good services.

    Ditto, usually around 15 ping. pretty decent and no lag just dont like their FUP of 50gb/month and stupid off peak hours for downloading 1am-6am only 5 hours a day. but if i download at 840k/s then its not that bad.

    Seems pretty good,

    what upload speed you got from them, just out of interest....

    I have a friend on their home package who has 768kb upload speed, but on their website it only says 448kb.

    Thanks.
