Good afternoon ISPReview Forums!
I am moving home soon and am looking for some advice to which ISP would be best for me, but first - a little background.
I have lived in rented accomodation for 5 years, and I have never had good internet no matter how hard I tried, I've even had to set up multiple lines in a single household to switch between connections when one got un-stable... This was mostly due to where I have been living. An absolute killer for an avid gamer. Now I am moving to Warrington (WA2 area) and have the option of Fibre Broadband.
I am a gamer, and my misses streams, alot. So my requirements are basically the whole shabang: High Download/Upload speeds, lardge bandwidth, low latency, jitter and hopefully no packet loss.
Which provider is good for this? I know it depends on location but I will be living in the WA2 area of Warrington.
I have ruled out TalkTalk, who, by my experience alone, have absolutely terrible customer service if you have an issue of ANY kind.
I have also ruled out Virgin, who have had some horror stories due to their terrible routing decisions and gamging horror stories.
Luckly I'm in a position where the cost of the ISP is not an issue unless it is ridiculously expensive.
So, I'm left with a few and am leaning towards Sky, as I am also interested in the TV package (Not interested in landline - who uses them anymore?!). But I have recently read that they censor some things and I am not sure what this includes, as I have read that you can choose to disable this option at any point?
Basically just looking for some advice, as this is my first chance in a long time to get fast, stable, relaible, low latency internet - and definitly do not want to botch the oppertunity with a single bas decision made by myself. Needless to say it would help mine and my misses relationship too :laugh:
I work as an electrical and control engineer so feel free to use all the jargin you wish, hopefully I should understand it
TalkTalk definitly did not.
