Broadband
Once again, I post a thread, where I am a lazy bastard, asking you lot to do all the work me, deal with it.
BTOpenworld has finally gotten too shit for me to stand, apparently they now want me to accept a 1GB a month download limit.
I do 4Gb a day.
Slight problem.
Anyway, I'm looking for ADSL.
No monthly limits.
1-2meg, would pay up to £35 for 1 meg, £50 for 2 meg.
Personal recommendations preferred to review sites which bore me very quickly.
Hugs and Kisses.

Nildram. £34 for 1Mb, £49 for 2Mb.
www.getadsl.co.uk
There probably are limits, but I've never hit them.

Nildram has a 150Gb download cap per month.
You'd have to be downloading constantly at 60kps or above to reach it.
If you're talking about other providers, whoopdidoo, you sure were ahead of the game there; I doubt you'll find anyone would stand up for BT or NTL.

I was thinking that - however, I'm not up there atm so maybe it has. However, we were offerred 512kb broadband for £20 a month from BT, but a 1 or 2 gb/month limit which I'm sure we'd reach just on web sites (I assume they count as there's no way of tellin difference but I have no idea about this!)

I'm on Rogers here, I get 200-300 kb/s download rates providing the sources I'm downloading from are fast enough, no limit, 12 quid a month.
Screw you guys :P
p.s. the connection makes NTL look as stable as Israel's peace plans.

Re: Broadband
hmm.. I get 1mb connection for the price of 512mb from BT as they nub'ed it :/
I don't plan to tell them anytime soon though (
ps. I'm quite sure, my bandwidth limits at 1gb per DAY, as well, I've dl-ed around 900mb a day consistently for the past 8 months, and the one time i crossed the limit, my internet crashed and I couldnt get on untol 00:01 the next day . (Luckily it was 23:15~) :/
pps. It might be that BT nub'ed (again)

I use Virgin. £25 a month, no cap. I used to use Tiscali. £25 a month, no cap, shite and stupid technical support from somewhere in deepest darkest India. No contest really.

Yeah, as far as I can remember its the BT Business Broadband Network Plus connection or something, which is like £65+ a week, which isn't cheap for a 512kbps connection! But its not me who pays the bill, so...

Re: Broadband
im with bt at home. have been for about 4 years (or whenever they offered the old engineer installed adsl). I have no cap limit on 512kb here. I download 24/7 and at maximum speed (reducing it only slightly to surf or needbe to play games).
As for a 1mbit connection i would recc F2S. was with them over the uni year at 35£ for 1mbit no cap. Worked like a charm

Re: Broadband
What do you people actually download 24/7 then?
Music and Films? I use the university network to grab a film maybe once every two days, but all day everyday just for personal use?

Re: Broadband
TV Episodes are probably the highest consumption of bandwidth.
When you're talking DVD-Rips / decent TV-Rips then you could be talking 8-10GB per season per show.

It'll take you quite a while to get to 100Mb.

www.speedxs.nl, i forgot to mention you have to pay 100 euro a year for administration costs. If you divide that by 12 you pay 58 euro and a few cents per month. Still really cheap though. demon internet also sells it cheaply for like 65 euro a month. Even compuserve offers it for 55 euro a month.
