I've been with Nildram for the last 4-5 years and they were a great provider. While I'm still on a rather outdated 256/512 package I had a generous 50gb usage capacity, and 50gb webspace. I don't download movies, most of my stuff is web browsing, online gaming and so on, however I feel I need a decent usage allowance.
Over the last few weeks I've been more dissatisfied with Nildram, the connection has been getting ever slower and now I'm experiencing continuous random connection dropouts, sometimes up to 6 times or more in an hour. Obviously when downloading patches, or playing games this can be irritating.
I've decided to look elsewhere, someone I know advised either BT or Virgin Media, but I can see from a look here last night that there are a lot of horror stories about Virgin. I've been offered free broadband from Talk Talk which I instantly rejected as I know there's no such thing as 'free'.
Before I was reluctant to change packages as although it wasn't the cheapest or the fastest Nildram was reliable, but now even that advantage seems to be going.
Anyone have any advice on alternatives. I'm on about a £20 a month budget, I want a decent usage cap, I'm not under any illusions with the so called unlimited, though I suppose under companies like Virgin I might not be affected by bandwidth throttling as I dont do a lot of downloading, but I'd like advice. I see BE mentioned here a lot, but I've checked and I'm not in an available area.
