    Question who is best broadband supplier?

    Not sure if this is the right forum for this but couldn't see where else to ask. Basically I've still got dial up through BT. (BT yahoo is crap and drives me nuts!) I'm just wondering if anyone has any views on best choice at the minute - I was thinking either wanadoo or sticking with BT. I'm just after general surfing - no crazy downloads, just quicker easier surftime. Plus I don't want to spend loads but whatever it is must be easy to set up and use.
    I I'm on the wrong forum can someone point me in the right direction
    thanks

    jaynee i just checkout of freedom2surf and they sound unreel! i was thinking of getting the 2mb connection for £30, what you got? and how fast is it? ( like what sort of download speeds you get? )

    I have the The 512K Home unmetered service i.e there is no limit to the amount of data I can download per month all for a confirmed fixed price. £22.50 I think. I can only get that one as I am over 2 miles from the exchange.
    I just did one of those speed test things and it said:
    Your line speed:

    443.8 Kbps

    54.4 K bytes/sec

    With 4 of us on the network it can go a bit slow if all of us are downloading at once, but after 4 years on dial up it still seems fast to me.

    Yep NTL I've heard bad things about them too. Tesco BB, I'm on it. It's been slated by many others (teething problems I think) but I'ts been ok for me and its uncapped £19.97 for 512K . If I had my time agian though I'd go for pipex I think, due to their experience.

    Yeah I nearly went with Pipex, they are supposed to be very good.

    I've had pretty much no trouble at all with BT on their 512k service. I've just downgraded from BT Yahoo as I didn't need the email boxes, web space and stuff as I've already got all of those add-ons elsewhere (some with BigT - check out www.intelligenthosts.com). I'm now paying £19.99 a month for BT Broadband Basic. It does have a cap on the amount of data you can transfer each month but you'd have to be downloading some really big stuff regularly to reach the limit.
