Ive just been given 2weeks notice to find a new ISP as my "unlimited" service with go-plus internet feels that im too much of a heavy user. So much for unlimited.

i was paying £24.99/month for 2MB D/L and 256 U/L

Looking for another ISP now that will allow me to be the heavy user that i am without cutting me off, preferably at the same price. Can anyone recommend any?

UKonline offer a 2Mb un-capped service for £29.99

Or if you fall in there LLu area its only £19.99

but also if you are in there LLu area you can have 8Mb for £29.99 with a 500Gb cap.

I'm going to guess that Free-Online are a reseller or VISP (virtual-ISP) of Plus.NET services, judging by their websites...

PlusNET
FreeOnline

Same deals, by the looks of things, aswell...

Im pretty sure they still have a FUP in place. I recently read a post from a ISP rep that they will monitor individuals instead or the FUP policy. Take a look on www.ispreview.co.uk

Depending on what the ISP can accept a MAC code , This does both IP Stream and Data Stream connections.
