eetaylog Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Right, after being endlessly f*cked around by BT in our last house weve decided to try and take the plunge again and try to get broadband in our new(ish) place. Ive been looking at BT's total broadband packages, but to be honest im not that impressed with the limitations (mainly that you only get 250 wifi minutes per month, when our connection will be solely through wifi via the laptop ), and im not keen on paying 25 quid a month for their unlimited 3 option, so can anyone recommend a better deal??

Stu Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 What is it you want? I could recommend you the best ISP for a techie type person, but it's not an unlimited everything cheapie service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eetaylog Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 looking for a decent sized download limit (circa 10Gb should be enough, but unlimited would be betterer), and a free wireless router would be nice (as said above we will be connecting via the laptops wifi). obviously a decent data transfer speed is a plus, but not essential as our area is pretty limited anyway because of the office industrial estate down the road taking all the bandwidth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eetaylog Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'd recommend http://www.aaisp.net.uk yeah they seem pretty good for speed and allowance, the price is a bit high though seeing as id have to pay BT line rental and phone package on top (adding ~£20 to aaisp's £17 package). For that sort of money i could go unlimited including the line rental with BT. Know of any others that are cheaper, but not necessarily including a router? i can 'borrow' one from work anyway.

Stu Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'd only recommended A&A, nobody else provides the same level of support and honesty. If you want cheap, just get yourself a 3G dongle and blag an O2 ipod PAYG SIM card for 12 month free innernets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeeWee Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) I have used Plusnet for the last 4 years with no problems.I have a low contention premium account (22 per month) but they offer great low cost deals with a nice download limit.Ill add that where they say 10gig limit that applies at peak times which is a very reasonable time (4pm till midnight) off peak fill your boots. clickyNever heard of limited wifi on your own router though, its your wifi not theirs, even if not with a provider you can network free with your own wireless.

wwwd Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 AOL mate. I know a lot of you will laugh, but there's no download limits, no restrictions and I pay £12.99 a month for 8Mbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ . D a r k // ] Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 O2 Broadband I'm on 8meg Unlimited usage, free wireless router, £12/month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithyandco Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Again O2...If you can get ADSL2+ in your area it's dirt cheap compared to standard ADSL... Even cheaper if you are an O2 mobile customer (PAYG or Contract) 20Mbps download/1.5Mbps upload £9.50 a month - Unlimited. (Fair use policy which they don't give a.... About)I've transfered around 500GB of data this month alone (according to the routers stats)... And I havn't transfered as much as I usually do... Been doing that for over 12months now without a single letter telling me to back down... I see at least 18Mbps of that most of the time as well... (Usually around 15Mbps during peak time... not exactly complaining!) They use the BE network (as O2 bought them out)... In my opinion BE being the best home broadband provider...
