Uncapped broadband?
Hi all, Does anybody know of any completely uncapped broadband services? I was with BT 'unlimited' but they reduce your speed to 1mb as soon as you go over 100gb. There are two of us sharing internet here and we're both heavy users so we probably need at least 300gb per month. Any advice? Thanks

I have had the Virgin L broadband service (nothing else)for some time and pay £25 pm. Browsing their site I saw they are charging new customers £20 after an initial £15 for the first 3 months.
