Be Excellent To Each Other

I am curently on an entanet package of 30GB peak, 360gb off peak for £19.99

Just wondering if there are any cheap products, that you folks can recommend

Me too but under the guise of adsl24. They're really nice but a bit slow.

At work I have Bulldog broadband + phone, unlimited 8mb. It's quite speedy and reliable, the phone line a bit iffy sometimes. That's £30.

Im with Be,
Its 24 appaerntly, and its unlimited (fair useage and all that tho)
Pretty good, only £18 a month

Sky Broadband Max - Up to 16Mb/s download, no limits. £10 a month, but need to have Sky TV, which I do...

Love it.

virgin cable thingy

Ditto. Heard good things about Sky Broadband but I don't know if I can be arsed to switch to anything else. Laziness reigns.

When I moved house, I did, and it was the best ISP move I've ever made... (the worst being the move from Nildram (or Jolt or whatever) to telewest (which became virgin)

For full disclosure, according to their forums, Be have used the fair use clause once ever.

AOL 10 quid

Yeah. Wanna make something of it?

Sky is alrite. we had it last year, 6 people house share, all guys (student house) so kinda raped it a fair amount, but it did occasionally cut out, but was decentish speed and had no major problems

BT One or something like that! It's ok but pretty expensive for what it is!

I've just worked out that my router has DMZ functionality today and hence why my xbox had problems connecting and hosting! yeay!

Plusnet. It's 15 notes a month, and simply works.

Wot Mawlk sed.

Try leaving

I'm with Demon and leaving as soon as my network unbundles, due to their daily spam when I near my unlimited internet limit and refusal to tell me how mmuch I've actually used, so I can get the most bandwidth for my money without going over the unlimited internet limit.

The twats.

Virgin L (10Mbit) Package, apart from my torrent woes (see olds threads) it's spanking fast and I is happys

I might try sky as I am in need to save money but still have a good service.

Having a little one on the way, cutting back on none essentials

How do you find out if your local exchange has been unbundled?

I'd tell you if I had the foggiest what you were talking about.

I'm with Sky, but their ADSL service, because I live out in the sticks.

It's okay, has only gone down once. But when it went down it was down for a couple of days and it slows to a crawl on evenings and weekends. Fucking fast as fuck at 6am on a weekday morning though.

That is the only one I can get as my excahnge does not support the other option.... no point in changing, if I have to pay £2 less

all ya unbundled data needs and stuffs

my exchange is llu but sky have not installed yet

I'm not sure what all this LLU stuff is. Is ADSL the best thing to be on if you can't get cable?

Once upon a time, BT owned all the exchanges and you could only get internet from BT. Even if you had internet from, say, PlusNet they rented the line from BT, which meant BT always got a slice of the pie.

Then Things Changed. Now each ISP can, if they want, go and put some stuff in the exchange. Then your modem talks to their stuff in the exchange, not BT's stuff, and then all the connections up to the rest of the world is their stuff, and not BTs. This means in theory prices can be lower (as BT are no longer in a monopoly position). This process is called Local Loop Unbundling (the Local Loop being the copper wire between the exchange and your house, and Unbunding in the sense that it's no longer tied to BT).

Often, LLU services are cheaper and faster, as long as the ISP in question has put their stuff in your exchange.

Yes.

I can only get talk talk llu..... an 18month contract..... I don't think I will bother

Depending on the distance from your local exchange, ADSL2+ is likely to be better. Here's a confusing chart:



You should be able to get more info on this here, although it doesn't actually work for me.

Coincidentally, I'm with Be, and it's very good.
