I'm sorry to ask, you probably get this all the time.
Buuut... my contract with BT is ending soon... and I need a new one. I've looked at packages... whilst I'd love something amazing, something around the £20 mark (including line rental!) so I've researched a few packages, but I wondering if you could advise?
I do use quite a lot of bandwith, some p2p and things like youtube and the iplayer, also there's two of us on the connection.
The main questions I have are about whether there's bandwith shaping in the 'peak hours', what happens if I go over the download limit, and if they block any ports for P2P or gaming!
So there's that TalkTalk package - line rental and internet for £13.25 a month! Sounds bargain, and 40GB limit is alright.
There's also a deal from Orange - £17 for internet, line rental... but they have an ambiguous "fair usage policy" on their apparent 'unlimited downloads'.
And there's Virgin - I'm pretty far away from any exchanges, so even if I went on their 2MB deal, it's probably what I'd get anyway from those so-called "8MB" offers. Again, it's unlimited downloads (which I love the sound of) but again, a fair usage policy? What!
Finally, there's Utility Warehouse but I doubt anyone knows too much about that.
I've already discarded Tiscali as I've heard awful things about it, and O2 because they don't offer it in my area. Boo. I would've loved O2!
Thanks so much for any help. My contract with BT is ending soon and I need to figure this one out ASAP!
Thanks again!
