Hi all, hoping for some help with this.
I was on standard ADSL with them, via entanet. This was fine, but I was constantly paying more for extra bandwidth after getting netfilx.
So I moved to unlimited LLU. What a mistake.
Since then my connection has been extremely annoying. Most obvious problem is that we can rarely download anything from the play (Android) store on mobiles, tablets etc.
I have swapped routers, tried with 3 different ones so I know it's not that. Also does it on a variety of android devices, so it's not those either.
Steam (gaming platform) is also having issues. Games constantly disconnect, and the steam forums often take 20 seconds to load a page. Tracerts show nothing untoward, and here is all the info I can get from the router.

Ping is 26ms, download is around 12mb, upload is poor at 0.87
They have been contacted and a ticket raised, but haven't heard anymore as it's obviously passed to talktalk, whom I dispise.
I was about to go onto plusnet, but looking at the forum they have serious issues.
I have looked at Zen and Aquiss, both are obviously good but charge the earth, which I simply can't afford each month. Any recommendations for unlimited (or huge allowance) on an ISP? I am not too fussed about speed, and although fibre is available it seems far more expensive.
