Hi guys. I'm in a bit of a dilemma and I hope you can help me out.
I've tried to get this info from other topics, but I guess it's a bit specific so I decided to create a new topic.
I currently use Pipex ADSL with an (approx.) 4MB unlimited connection. A lot of companies like to boast 8MB these days, but the distance I am from the exchange I float around 3.5MB. I pay around £24 a month for this package. Now, I've never really had a problem with Pipex's reliability. It's probably the one reason I've stuck with them. Their customer service is pretty lame, and I'm pretty sure they're throttling my P2P traffic - but they're pretty reliable so I've stuck by them.
I think it's time to move now though...
Sky offer free broadband to their subscribers. Free internet is a big carrot, I bet it's rubbish. Plenty of downtime and plenty of speed throttle. So I'm very hesitant to consider them. Am I right here, or am I giving them a bit of an undeserved hard time?
Doing digging, I've found that Zen and Fast appear to the best ISP's. However, they're packages don't suit me. They don't offer any unlimited packages at all. With the amount of P2P I do, I'd need at least a 40-50GB allowance on my line. However, the prices for a package like that tend to be between £30-35 a month. That's too much for an internet package.
Can anyone suggest an ISP and package for me please? To clarify, I'm currently on unlimited 4MB with Pipex. I'm after top, top reliability, fast speeds and a high download limit. If I would sacrifice one, it would be speed over the other two. I'm not prepared to pay over £25p/m for my internet.
Cheers guys!
