Broadband

[nelson182]

Who would you recommend for Broadband. I have just moved into new flat, not worries about having a phone land line, but want half decent Broad band connection. Anyone tell me what they have paid for installation etc and what per month? I've looked at Virgin media whohc seems good :S

Not Virgin Media, their ADSL is a pile of shite, i have just migrated to ADSL24 and so far has been spot on.

errrr, why would they ring somebody else who doesn't have a broadband problem?

One of the lads at work is with BeThere. They seem okay, but what they promise isn't easy to get on the crap lines we have in the UK.

I took the risk of going with Sky and so far they have been fantastic. I only went with the 8mb package and I get maxed out performance on downloads and uploads. I can host games on the 360 and don't have any problems.

My ex and my parents are also with Sky and get better performance than they did using both Virgin and Plusnet.

They are a bit hit and miss though from what I've read.

Virgin do ADSL. My ex was with Virgin on ADSL before she moved to Sky. She doesn't even live in a cable enabled area.

I went with the free orange bb with contract, speeds were sh*te, it was on and off all the time, useless support (if you could actually get to speak to someone). I signed up with Virgin - £10 per month, been spot on. Cable is the best option for me anyway because im miles away from my exchange, BT say max i can get is 2.5mb anyway.

I'm with sky too, very happy.

Even happier as last week they went active in our exchange with their own equipment, so hopefully very soon I'll be going even faster.

What about BT Broadband with the Wireless HUB. Seems very good bit of kit, as you can talk via Internet phone.
