I am thinking of changing my isp i am with wanadoo at the moment have been with them for years but yesterday i got a letter in the post telling me that i am downloading more than my allowance of 30gb per month by downloading 39gb in the last 3 months . they have only started to cap my download in march . it says at the bottom of the letter that if i continue to exceed my monthly usage allowance we will have no option but to close your account cheeky baxxstrds had a row with them on the phone telling them that they changed there contract when they feel like it & that i have never been on the phone to them when there modems are down & i cant get on line for days sometimes . I told them there has been loads of times when i could not get on line as there is a fauilt at there end i i have phoned them only to be told there is no fauilt at there end they lie to you all the time about that they dont give you a refund for the times you cant get on line .

I have pipex here m8, just been upgraded to 2 meg, no problems at all. Bit expensive but I've found you get what you pay for with ISP's

Ukonline has 2meg unlimited for £19.99 a month and 512 unlimited for £9.99 a month - if you live in the right areas [most large towns now].

Also u can get 1 month free is someone (me?) recomends u

Onetel are worth a look - £23.99 per month, no download limits. They also do various bundles with stuff like free evening and weekend calls which can make the whole deal even cheaper.

I've used them for about five years for dial-up and phone calls and been very happy with them. When broadband finally comes to my village I intend to stick with them for that.

currently just switched to seriouslyinternet

early days yet but am on 2MB and no limits, no ports blocked and apart from a couple of problems regarding email (now sorted) so far seems fine

as said though ... only just switched to them 9 days ago

just switched from griffin internet to adsl4less £14.99 pm 512k unlimited so far so good

Using telewest broadband. Only £14.99 per month for 512K, however, its only for a year. After the year, I suppose you will be asked to switch over to 1MEG.

But they provided me with modem and wireless kit with free installation.

Beware NTL! They've just started capping off their broadband packages so that a 1mb line has a 3gb monthly cap. Same price as well. At least they aren't enforcing the limits... yet.

hi

yeah i've got pipex at the moment & wouldnt recommend them (this account expires end of july)

In the last year I have had 2 outages for +24 hrs each time, however friends a couple of streets down & on the same exchange with BT didnt have those outages. even though pipex tell me its a bt problem??

The 'free' upgrade was scheduled for May & it arrived on Tuesday, again about 2 months after the exchange was upgraded & the day after I told them thats 12 months, close my contract. Their DNS settings changed, but they didnt tell me about it.

.... poor

I switched to pipex and have had a brilliant service from them, 24/7 top speeds and the free update ahead of time
