Gone with Demon - 5mb for £20 a month.

I'm with Sky. £10/month for 16Mb broadband.

My first router blew up and Sky's customer service is non-existant/rude, however line speed etc. is good LOL!

Don't go with Orange is all i can say. It was down more than up :( Changed to BT which is spot on :D Not had to reset the router since i set it up about 6 weeks ago :P

NTL, i'm paying 17.99 for 4MB unlimited

I've just changed from Pipex to BT so wouldnt recomend them. The actual broadband service is top notch, i've had it for two years and never noticed it go down once but their customer service is complete shite! With BT not, £26 a month and I got a free home hub with free off peak calls and I get a new 056 phone number so no more annoying calls from Indian mobile phone compaines :)

Pipex would be worth looking at, top service! :thumbs:

as for traffic shaping, it's a bullache for some protocols, but for P2P (torrent especially) it can be solved encypting the headers - so i wouldn't worry about it, unless you're into using VOIP - as there having been many casing of ISPs giving priority of their VOIP services over 3rd party VOIP companies :rolleyes:

I can get up to 5mb now :!

Demon good then??

I was looking at zen too cos i heard so many good things about them, but i think they had a 50 gig a month limit like nildram, but with no unlimited offpeak hours, and we use more than 50 gig a month regularly :(

Thought I'd add another contender in there, but they're not cheap! :thumbs:

£20 for completely unlimited?! What sort of speeds do you get on torrents? I know Nildram dont use traffic shaping or anything which means i get 300kB/s+ on torrents which is where i get most of my stuff from. If its 100% unlimited then £20 is well good!

Ok it seems you have already told us that :lol:

Fucking hell Nildram is well exspensive.

Demon is £20 a month for unlimited 8mb.

Nildram is £25.99 for 8mb capped to 50gb

See - told you Demon were good :look:

Comparison of Tiscali to demon and nildram :lol:

Demon. £2 more though

how come you cant get above 2mbps? Thought every exchange (bar a few in the highlands etc) can get up to 8mbps now? Im with Nildram paying £25.99 a month for up to 8 meg (connected at 6.5mbps :D ) and its totally unrestricted apart from 50 gig allowance a month in peak rate, 100% unlimited offpeak.

dont get orange its wank

Currently with Tiscali, the service goes down atleast once a week and its getting tiresome now, especially when Tiscali themselves usually insist the service is fine.

Can any companies beat what I currently have because I havn't found anything else the same:

2mb
Unlimited downloads
50mb web space

£17.99

Most have resrticted downloads.

Edit - Can't get above 2mb.
