Best Service Provider from these 3...

i think the only thing that annoys me (probably same with most other isps) is the poor upload speed. i like to share files and it takes a while to get my dl/up ratio upto scratch

 

[Final Maxim]

i download at least 80 gig per month upto like 150 gig sometimes. never had a warning letter or email.

i was with bt for 12 months, limit was 40 gig.

one month i went 42 gig i think it was and they wrote me an email telling me about upgraded packages (i was already on top package) and that if i went over again it would be £1 per 2 gig. another reason why i changed from bt

those figures are probably just below what ISP's class as fair usuage haha

lol sweet

It'll be 17 quid a month then scutchie as you'll be on "Sky Connect". Mid and Max are only available on LLU exchanges.

 

[tommyboy]

jeez, you guys are heavy downloaders compared to me. I'm no where near filling my 250GB hard drive on my Dell yet!

Still, if I switch to Be/Sky, that may change

Be has one of the best u/p speeds around, upto 1.3Mb

 

[Final Maxim]

tbh it says 4 meg on my number too, this is speed im getting

oh really? I do really wana move onto sky but I need an improvement in speed to go with it.

what down speed do you get if you go on www.speedtest.net

?

9186 down
625 up

but from the speeds on the pic i posted you can see its 16meg.

sky says my line is 4meg, and that dsl link someone posted it says 6.5

In which case, it can f*ck off. Unless its still 8MB and unlimited.

i had a 200 gig harddrive in my last pc, bought a new one few weeks ago, installed vista, put my music/games and films on and ide hit 160 gb. had to buy a new 500 gig harddrive and im still burning stuff off as i get it lol.

high broadband speed rocks, i think if i ever was made to go back to 1 meg or 2 meg ide commit suicide.

give them a call and see what speeds you are looking at.

Also the service from them is going to be far better than Sky.

I ordered mine yesterday and it is going live on the 10th, now that's pretty quick!!!!!

----- goes and hides in corner! :nono:

 

[Final Maxim]

true. imo all of the ISP's get slower over time, there really is no right or wrong when comparing the top ISP's available in your area, so many factors influence the overall connection

 

[Scutch]

It'll be 17 quid a month then scutchie as you'll be on "Sky Connect". Mid and Max are only available on LLU exchanges.

I dont mind about the £17 pm, its the unlimited downloads I want. Can I blag that too or is it fixed at 40GB

I'd know more if they gave a f*cking phone number to contact them

 

[Final Maxim]

what do you want, just sky customer services? 08705 800 800

Cheers, I'll try them, and after the 40 minute wait, I'll be put through to some call centre in Afghanistan.

Well that is down to AOL and Tiscali, they charge a similar price for a uncapped service but the speed is always going to be slower. It is more cost affect for a company to have LLU thats why they can offer superb deals like free calls, free boradband and so on..........

If you read up on Be there main point / focus is broadband so they are going to try and supply the best at all times. yes i admit at present because they are not overloaded as shuch then things are looking good but as time goes on and more people sign up then things could alter but i hope not......

 

[tommyboy]

Still, for now, anyone else reading this, Be Broadband is poop, you really don't wana sign up

they are an entanet reseller. you will be throttled to around 2mb when the pipes get hot. go read up on thinkbroadband.com forums and ask some people who are already on an enta provider how it works, i think between 10pm and midnight is when it gets throttled down.
