[saintdragon]

hey people!

well i need to get a new internet line, im paaying £20 for 512 kbs!!! ok, what i want to know is what is the best internet i can get with in that region of price? i have seen 2mb out there, but i just what one you may think is better in some way

i just dont want my internet to die on me at a randon time also bulldog have given me way to much bs for me to go with them, i mean they said i pay £17:50 for the first 6 months then it goes to £30, then they send me a contract, guess what it says? it says after 6 months it goes to £59:50 a month, i was laughing sooo loud it wasnt really funny... this is for 8mb btw

so any suggestions, im definately not going for a commercial one like wanadoo because there for people who dont know didly squit about internet then get hit with a internet over use thing...

-thanks you guys...

"the best internet"

[sam fisher]

if they say you get upto 8MB you get your line max upto 8MB at the max. You obviously can only havlde 512k on your line.

I always pimp Blueyonder here because it'll be £35 for 10mbps in a few weeks. Considering that was the initial cost for 1mbps about a year ago, you can see that they will increase your speed for free as networks get better. This is something most other ISPs won't do. You will however need a cable installed

​

do you know if they tell you when they upgrade your speeds?

I am hoping for an upgrade soon.

Me strokes Bulldog 8mpbs @ £20 fro 12 months connection If agter 12 montsh they want to charge me 60 quid.. just jump ship to another vendor, sure ther be even better delas 12 months down the line Probably try to retain me and carry on charge me 20 quid, isp business is getting as comoetitive as the mobile phoneindustry now.. ON the plus side there no activation charge and its no 12 month contract. byh don't relally need 8mbps never really use much more than 4mbps upload is the main bottle neck theses days.

Something that did suprose me was i had speed issues a month down the line was only getting poor speeds.. I phoned bullodg got straight through to there tech support.. and shock horror a techinician phoned me up several times when it would be convienit talking to me on my phone when i was at my pc to test some things out, phoned me back that evening then sent an engineer down to test my line a few days later to chek the exchange.. was most suprosed thought bulldog had abysmal tech support!

hahahah, you cant talk to the customer service, well my mum said she cant understand them, i mean all of them, they were all indian, with indian acents, i mean it really gets on my tit when people hier someone to do the job for cheap labour, but its not worth it, atleast get someone who can speak english fluently and sounds like it too! I'm not taking the piss out of anyone, but its true!! my mum had to resove in sending a letter to them :lol: i was lmao!

i think my mum canceled it or somehting in the letter, if she didnt il say keep it for 6 months as thats the contract they offered me...

NTL aint bad, but im paying 38 near 40 quid for a 3mb's connection.. Britain is WAAAY behind other countries for broadband, if i paid this in some other place id get like a 10mb con no prob.. or even better <_<

 

[Steve-O]

Im on 1mbit from Pipex for £21 a month Unlimited usage

 

[Squidge]

I'm on PlusNet. £21.99 for 2mb. 100gb/month soft-cap. It's a 'soft-cap' because if you do most of your download during off-peak (1am till 5pm) then they don't care how much you download.

A word of warning though, if you do any P2P stuff like torrents and the like, *don't* signup to the £14.99 2mb package, as it's only meant for web browsing. Other than that though, it's currently the same as the above.

Like any ISP, some people hate it (normally because they join the £14.99 package and then complain about torrent speeds) and some people love it.

Ntl'll be going the 10Mb route soon too.
One speed for everyone and they'll be charging for usage

 

[Rico]

Is NTL's cap still 1 GB? That's pitiful on a 10mbps connection.

What's odd is BY's 2mbit and 4mbit services are BOTH being upgraded to 10mbit but one costs £35 and one costs £50. I can only hope that the final price will be £35, but it could be £50 so watch out.

​

It was 1GB per day. It is now 30GB per month, which is effectively the same thing.

1MB broadband is only 3GB per month though.

 

[Jarska333]

I gots 30K/25K from Sonera... Fast enough for my general budget.
At about 25€/month... <_<


Though, I had to scale down my porn downloads.

haha :lol: and you still do it

anyway, i think im going to jump on blue yonders band wagon, although not too sure yet, il look into the ones suggested, last time i checked japan had 1gig broad band and that was around a few months ago, thats just crazy, + england sucks for most stuff anyway

I've always believed that NTL weren't too bothered about bandwidth limits (except in excessive cases!)

Anyway the limit's at 10Mb/s are going to be raised to 75Gb/month...

They also say that 20Mb/s is being trialled and maybe 50Mb/s is possible!
