Cheap Broadband?

Post by **fac51** » Fri Oct 22, 2004 7:30 pm

Anyone know what any decent deals/isps? My sister is wanting to upgrade to BB and is thinking of Virgin at ?17.99/month (dont know what speed that is as need to talk to her) problem is it is limited to 3gb's per month which is hella crappy imo.

Yes that is rather crappy - I'd use that up in a day!

just talked to her. yeah its 3gb / month limit and 512kb. waste of time imo. yeah its faster that ntl's 300kbs ?17.99 service but whats the point if your limited to such a small download quota.

So we aren't in a Cable area (wud have thought that the centre of manc wud have!!??)

Anyway - we can get NTL freedom - 512k - 5gb download limit - do you think this wud be ok???

yeah 5gb still isnt great. i take it ntl freeddom is a adsl (telephone) service from ntl? im sure there must be other providers without such a small download limit.

you could always look at adslguide.

The smaller ones no ones heard of are more likely to have higher limits

Just found tesco - 512k - unlimited download @ ?19.97p/m

Try looking at Pipex, wanadoo, plusnet

I've herd supanet are one of the cheapest non restricted (in which i mean no download limits) broadband providers, but there service maybe bad, i'm not sure

Maybe also look at bulldog if you want a fast connection and live in london
