I am moving into a flat with six and potentially even eight people. I've been looking at various ISPs I'm afraid that we might have difficulties with Virgin. I have looked around and some ISPs provide 120GB internet and 15GB (lots of streaming, legal software downloads such as steam) each is nowhere near enough for what we might use.

What would you suggest?

Cheers.
 
As long as there is a BT line installed.. I would look at Be Broadband, but first I would look at how far from the exchange you are.
Its no good having it if you cant get enough speed for many people to be online at once.

I think we're pretty close - we are 600 metres away. I think we have a socket but I don't *think* we have an actual phone number. The landlord was going to organise a contract with Virgin Media but I wanted to see if we can get something better.

With that many people then Virgin Media's top-end 50Mbps or 100Mbps would probably be best, assuming their cable platform is available in your area. It'll cost but you'll have plenty of speed and good capacity to share between everybody, especially if you take the 100Mbps deal. On top of that you should be able to split the cost with those who share it.
