Freedom2surf (I think that's how it's written).

We get 2mb download and 256kb upload for about ├é┬ú30 a month. But if our exchange ever gets upgraded then we'll get 8mbit and despite a lot of torrenting we've never had a stop downloading letter.

i've got 8mb now for ├é┬ú24.99 a month used to have 1 mb a month ago now and half a month before that 56k for ├é┬ú124 for 2 months average

i didn't realise you had phones out there yet!

my only other experience was with force9 and that was about ├é┬ú20 per month for 2Mbit...but the terms of service seemed to change daily. packetshaping and all that continually shifting of downlaod limits/time of day limits/time of day download speed limits. strange stuff.

Daylight robbery?

What about this :

1 Mbit, Limited to 15 gigs and costs 60 Pounds a month?

Extra bandwidth costs 15 Pounds for every extra gig or you can get oh so wonderful 64k with unlim bandwidth - which is the case with me right now.

how'd it feel to get robbed of your unlimited bandwidth connection to get 2x speed but limited bandwidth?

Sorry, I had to say it.

The point is - BE THANKFUL THAT YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF ISPS AND REASONABLE PRICES.

We're with BT, 512K down (booo), 256K up, costs ├é┬ú15 a month for 1GB bandwith, iirc. I've never gone below 5GB a month and never had a complaint letter...

unpossible · Post by **unpossible** » 11 Sep 2006, 20:29

eek, ├é┬ú60. you live further out in the country than we do?
1Mbit just isn't enough these days. i want youtube!

Deathblane · Post by **Deathblane** » 11 Sep 2006, 20:35

By a bit of torrenting, I mean an average of 100GB a month

Still at my parents place in devon we're too far off the exchange to even get broadband. Makes the holidays slightly less worthwhile

I have the 3 for ├é┬ú30 deal with NTL, which is;

Phone
Cable TV
4M down 400K up

Wow, that's outrageous pricing!

Move to the US. Roadrunner, excellent customer support, 5 mbit down and 512k up for roughly 22 UK pounds.

Better yet, move to sweden where residential 1 gb connections a) exist, b) cost about as much as a case of beer.

Plus there are other advantages to being Swedish. Or at least, living in Sweden.

I use Demon, only 1mbit, but thats becuase of where i live, it would be faster for the same price otherwise (24squid)

I think they do a diffrent offer for 19 quid a month which is pretty much the same, onl;y diffrence i can remeber off the top of my head is a limited number of email adresses.

P.S. I'd use pound symbols but im in the U.S. atm and american keyboards are a bit backwards ^^
