Thread: Broadband

  1. #1

    Broadband

    Recently changing flat at uni has lead me into the mine field that is finding a isp. The problem is there all different prices, limit their users differently and have good and bad provision.
    Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions, unfortunately where I have moved to we can no longer get fiberoptic even though its only a few yards from where we lived last year :s

    I have think Sky and Be are offering the best deals, just wondered if you guys could recommend anyone

    p.s. Don't need a TV package

    First tip - do not use TalkTalk/Tiscali/Nildram/Whatever umbrella term they use next.

    That said, I have never heard a bad thing said about Be, so it will be worth checking them out. If my dad didn't have a Virgin fetish, then I'd persuade him to switch to Be instead.

    Yeh I think there the only option, was looking at SKY then and it said you could get 0.5meg :s and BE said 11meg. I use to have tiscali and never had a problem tbh, never got any disconnects and they always made it work if it ever broke I must have been one of the lucky ones

    I'm surprised it's you who wrote that, didn't know you spoke English that well

    No but seriously... definitely go for Demon.

    Re: Broadband

    Sky sucks, Virgin is pretty good, and I have no idea what BE is...

    If it's BT though, that sucks too.

    That's because you live in London. And in London, that's a shocking speed, my school in bumpkin land gets a faster connection than that.

    Ya but i'd rather trade a couple of mb/s for clean ish air coming through our windows

    if it's fast enough to take the same time to download as it does to watch its fast enough. Considering its already 10x that or more im not really bothered about the extra xxxxmb/s.


    Still be there sync 24mb/s all over the uk thats still a tasty potential 3mb/s and if you have a load balanced second line thats 6mb/s potential
