Having trouble posting again??? Please see below.

Hi Guys

 

I am at the moment with BT Broadband and I have just managed to clear my Bill so I can start to look for another provider.

 

I have been on the most expensive package since before they supplied the Home Hub ( I have my own router and hub)  I pay £24.99 BT say my line can only support 2mb (despite them selling me a more expensive package over a year ago (8mb but they said I could get 4mb!!)

 

I have complained to BT several times about the speed of my line as I am restricted at peak times due to being a high user, yet my speed always seems to be slow! I am getting tired of it.

 

I went on the Tiscali page last night and they said they could offer me 4mb?????

 

What I want to know is who offers the best package for a high user. So I can get my connection sorted out?

 

Thanks for looking, Columbo

I'm with Freedom2surf at the moment and they have been excellent over the last three or four years despite being bought out by Pipex then Tiscali.

I have been paying £14.99 per month for speeds up to 8Mb and normally get around 5.5Mb.

The previous download limit was 5gb a month but a quick check on their home page reveals they have dropped the price slightly to £13.99 per month and raised the monthly allowance to 10gb. They have also just introduced unlimited 16Mb Broadband for £19.99 per month.

If you are in the right area you may want to check out Be. They do unlimited broadband up to 8Mb for £14 per month and speeds up to 24 Mb for £18 Per month.

For a useful guide with reviews of many different providers go here:

Thanks for the info, Be is not in my area.

I dont want any package that is capped, although i cant help the old "fair Use" policy!

According to sam knows only Tiscali is enabled in my area? I find that hard to believe?

hello col. I have just signed up to bt broadband. they told me that i will not get any speed restrictions even though i am a high user. They also told me that if i go over the fair usage, I will be charged 30p per gig. Now that i have seen your post, Im thinking of changing my mind.

Hi, just got connected to Be Unlimited today after being with AOL for several years the improvement is INCREDIBLE! I was advised by Be I would get a 6Mbps connection but it seems much quicker. You Tube does not stutter and I am getting 1200k a second downloads all for £18 a month. Also I have one free static IP. Worth giving them a look mate.
