Need a good ISP fast
 

ive had telewest for 8 years with no problems now virgin media have taken over its nothing but a nightmare. slow downloads with a 20mb line[thumbdown] . need a good ISP prefer cable min 4mb line and needs to be cheap with no caps.

Good isp with no caps is hard to come by, especially cheap.

No caps generally means they allow torrent *****s which means crappy service [thumbup]

There has to be some around i mean BT has a 5gb cap http://discussworldissues.com/forums...es/tongue1.gif come on that is only a few game demos. im paying £37 a month now for a 20mb line

I take it your not a Sky customer then? They do 16mb unlimited for £10 a month for customers or 8mb for £5 a month with a 40gb cap or 8mb with a 2gb cap for free.

Depends on your area, and if you sign up, lmk and we'll both get £30 [thumbup]

I pay :

£15 a month for Sky (2 mixes)
£5 a month for 8mb/40gb
£11 a month for a BT line
£5 a month for unlimited 24/7 local/national + 10 International

So £36 a month for Sky, Internet, Phone and all my calls.

http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ilies/sad1.gif no ive got all my services with virgin, TV/Phone/broadband. BT want me to pay £120 to connect me to a phone line what a joke. looks like ive got to suffer virgin for the time being unless there is another way round this?

Damn, BT wanted to charge me £120 too because they said I had no line, that was until I pointed out to the engineer that I had a dial tone and had been getting junk calls since we moved in a week before, he just rolled his eyes and they connected me for free.

Um yeh these is no other cable providers...

So you need a BT line to sign up to an adsl company. Good list of good adsl companys are here: http://dslzoneuk.co.uk/isp_ratings.php

But if i was you, i'd just ring virgin up and complain? And see if they are upgrading your UBR?

I left virgin a month ago the service is truely woeful [thumbdown]

Your going to need a fone line if ya wanna change and most good adsl isps have caps.

Id rather have a 40-50 gig cap on a stable fast line than nlimited on a shoddy slow one even if it is "upto 10mb" or whatever.

adsl24 im with them and i recomend them

[thumbup] i did give them a call and said ive had enough and was going to go to sky http://discussworldissues.com/forums...es/tongue1.gif then hung up the phone, 15 minutes later i got a call and was told there is a fault with my services and they would fix it and give me 6 months free service if i stay with them [yes] . so it looks like im staying put after all at least for the next 6 months anyway..

Not in your country but I have to praise my ISP here. Send them email asking will they be raising my speed and 2 mins later they had raised my 2/1 to 3/1. [thumbup]

I have only recently signed up with them. Found that from free sites my speeds are shockingly bad at times ( gamershell ) but on my paid subscription for Fileplanet I can max it out as long as there is a UK server. Torrents are not too shabby either. Personally I think the crap speeds are due to network upgrades. Believe me their service is about a million times better than BT. http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ies/laugh1.gif
