Ok boys and girls I need some new broadband because plusnet is being fucking shit and slow almost as bad as dial up at times.

What can I get in the grange park area? Needs to be cheap and not have a download limit. Don't want cable and I don't have sky. Anyone got any recommendations?

Not the cheapest but I have never had a problem with BT Broadband.

I've had BT before and must admit I don't think I had any problems, but moved as it was cheaper elsewhere. I'm not sure I can afford the £24.99 that BT are asking for.

Freedom2surf were my favourite until they got expensive.

I see a lot of the ISPs offering decent packages don't do it in my area. It's rather annoying  :evil:

Isn't there a six-month introductory deal with BT at the moment?  Probably have to sign a year's contract but overall it comes out at about £16 a month - I had a bit of an argument with them over why I didn't qualify for a reduction.  I would have to cancel with them, go somewhere else for six months and then come back.  Seems like too much hassle!

Well o2 are doing a very cheap broadband package so I am tempted by that. Otherwise I might go with someone like NewNet. Has anyone heard much about NewNet?

I joined talktalk about 6 months ago, as BT were pricey and had limits.

Talktalk give me 8mb unlimited (although my area only supports 2mb Sad ) and includes free landline calls or some bollocks (i don't use the phone so who cares?), but it's been faultless. It costs £20 total, that includes line rental, unlike most services who specify you still need to pay BT line rental, so although they don't supply a router (i have my own) i recommend them.
