Broadband Suppliers

[Hotman]

I'm at the point of changing supplier, tiscali have been w***y and I have finally got my MAC code. Problem is that I live in a relatively remote area that is not Local Loop Unbundled, so I can't get any of the cheapy deals like O2 / Sky etc (when I go on their websites I can only get a £18 package).

Sooo... I'm thinking of going for the AOL deal with the PS3 as I qualify for that one based on my number. Has anyone had any experience with them (its a 2 year contract, so don't want to get it wrong)
cheers

I use TalkTalk - not had any problems, is that not available to you?

 

[Hotman]

I canm but due to my area I don't qualify for the headline rates, think it is minimum £15 per month, plus I need to change my line rental to them. Surely £5 / month diffce would be better spent on a PS3?

 

[RobM]

PS3? Not for me but probably for some. My BB+phone rental is £20 a month, landline calls are free up to 59 minutes each call.

It'll be a nice extra for the kids at Xmas...!

I use ADSL24, not the cheapest but extremely reliable and always come in the top 10 on online polls / surveys

I'm on Be Unlimited - completely unmetered usage for £18 a month. Speeds are up to 24Mbit/s download - in practice I get about 13.5Mbit/s with 1Mbit upload. Good value I'd say, and I haven't had any problems.

On this subject, is anyone here with Sky Broadband? We currently pay £25 a month for what was NTL, now is Virgin and we've just been upped for free to 10mb recently. Sky have just started advertising £5 a month for 8mb and seems a waste of money that we're paying £20 more!

Used Toucan for the last 5 years.....not a single problem, we get what we pay for, our exchange ( being in the middle of the back of beyond) can only take 2mb, so can not take advantage of all the great deals.
