broadband deals

[Mechanicus]

im looking to upgrade to a 1 MB unlimited connection, atm i have ADSL 512 mb which costs about £30 a month

i have NO idea of where to look, all the sites seem to just have limited connections

the NTL ones looked ok but what other companys/deals are there that are worth looking at?

thanks in advance

Give Blueyonder a call, dunno if they can do it in your area tho
Atm i have a 1.5mb/s for £40 a month and i can use it as much as i like

SiL ..:..

See if you can get cable.
Usually get unlimited services, and it's generally more reliable (high contention ratio).
Think BY do cable. They're good for ADSL anyway.

my cousins with bulldog and its reliable, one of the cheaper ones, was quick and easy to setup, an allround good provider.

Force 9 (http://portal.f9.net.uk/my/mydiscount_info/landing_page.html?WRKUh%2Fz%2FuZ5dXmEjImm%2BIMWui9plRoKU0q2VIWc3ArE%3D) is who I use. £29.99 per month, they will swap you over to them without charge, thats 1MB speed, for £29.99, no usage cap, 50:1 ratio, anti spam and anti virus email, cgi space (50mb) and normal space (250mb) which is worth the money on its own :p

Or 2MB for £40 a month (uncapped)

/edit - forgot to mention, if you refer people to them, they give you money, so refer enough people and you could end up paying £0.00 per month for 2mb adsl :p

AOL dont have a download restriction ;)

[Dribble Joy]

I have pipex, no problems from them so far.

If they have a DL limit then it must be insane, considering how much my computer alone pulls down each day.

Force 9 and BY have exactly the same pricing and packedge plans at this point in time, just that one is ADSL the other is Cable.

BY have a very low user to modem ratio as well, so it's worth looking into Blue Yonder if you're going cable or have telewest.
If you're on a BT Line I advise Eclipse.

Edit;
My BY packedge is 35/M for 2Mbit uncapped - because they keep upgrading my conn for free ... and because it's part of a cable packedge.

[Mechanicus]

By?
who are they?

Blue Yonder ;)

[SilKK]

blue yonder 1 mb -24.99 a month thats wat i got

[Lexxuk]

Blue Yonder is cable, he has ADSL, would stand to reason he's probably not in a cable area so would need to stick with DSL

[Mechanicus]

i dunno how do i check

If he lives anywhere akin to a town or city, then he probably can get cable.
The only problem with it is that you may find there will be a lot of installation work needed.

[Mechanicus]

i think i can get it but how do i find out!! :)

[darknessfairy]

i dunno how do i check

go to the blueyonder website... and there is a function where you tap in your postcode and it tells you whether you can have it or not

btw i have had it for over erm 2 1/2 years now... i started with 512 kb, im now getting 1mb, and paying the same :) thanx for the boosts blueyonder

[Mechanicus]

Not really no, you can switch provider too as you already have ADSL, but you will get charged a regrade fee for upgrading to 1MB, I still say Force9, I've been with them a few years now, great customer support, they have their own forums where you can bitch about stuff, and they are pretty damn good. Click my link before, gimme referal :p

[Mechanicus]

lol ok i think im gonna go for their 2mb deal, il make sure i give you a referal :p

[Xeno LARD]

I might be upgrading at some point, so I'll bear this thread in mind.
