Want to move from BT...

I am currently with BT and I'm paying £60 P/M for a broadband and phone package. I am looking to move as I'm no longer happy with price I'm paying (has to be less than £35 P/M). Also the P2P throttling is unbearable.

As long as I pay less than £35 it really doesn't matter if I go with a one company that gives me phone and broadband or a two different companies. Not sure if I can expect a reliable connection for this money (another reason why I hate BT)...

I only download during the night so it's might be fine to go with the "unlimited" package that does't have a download speed restrictions after 6pm. Or should I go with something like AAISP instead? If yes, is 1GB/M will be enough for a facebook, email etc.?


BTW this is what broadband checker tells me:

YES - Standard ADSL
YES - ADSL MAX
YES - ADSL2+

Superfast Fixed Line Broadband Service Availability (Cable and Fibre Optic)
NO - Virgin Media
NO - Smallworld
YES - Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC)

Unbundled (LLU) Fixed Line Broadband Service Availability (Explain)
YES - Carphone Warehouse (TalkTalk)
YES - Tiscali Wholesale (TalkTalk)
YES - Cable & Wireless
YES - Be Unlimited (O2)
YES - Easynet
YES - AOL LLU (Carphone Warehouse)
YES - Orange LLU
NO - Smallworld LLU


Thanks for any advice!
 
£60 a month just for broadband? Sounds a bit much even from BT.

The checker results suggest that, Virgin Media aside, you have the option of pretty much any UK ISP available. If I were you I'd consider Sky's Unlimited Fibre service or Fibre Broadband from PlusNet because you can get FTTC, assuming price is your primary consideration.

But you have so many choices that you're probably best just trawling through the standard and superfast fixed line broadband options to see what works best:
