Best uncapped/high cap cheap broadband?

derb

I'm thinking of fleeing Sky for Freesat+another BB provider since they're putting up their broadband prices. But which? Talktalk looks cheapest but they've had a terrible reputation for customer service. Has it improved any? Is there any other low-cost BB provider people recommend? (Martin suggests Plusnet which I have never heard of and which costs nearly £10 - was hoping for cheaper, and on their site I couldn't find reference to the 2Gb allowance not counting after midnight).

Check out www.ispreview.co.uk if you are looking for customer service. I think that you will find that the best ones cost more. I haven't used Plusnet, but they do seem to have a good reputation. http://www.plus.net/residential/broadband/ has ticks on free overnight usage.

I am with plusnet fantastic customer service and the web portal is intuitive and questions posted on your account are answered within 1 day ....yes free overnight usage between 12 and 8 option to buy extra bandwidth if you think you are going to go over your limit ,monthly contract ,no set up connection fee if you are migrating.
Take a look at their web site you can take a tour of the members section as a guest to see the features.. Just type guest in the user name and password field.

Cant recommend them enough after suffering at the hands of REDTEN :T

If you take Sky Talk your Sky broadband costs won't change.
Remember even at £10/month you get up to 8mbps and a 40Gb allowance with Sky which is hard to beat, (I've Looked), and you would have to buy a Freesat+ box at around £300.

The only HD freesat box is £300 but if you don't want HD and recording capability you can get freesat for £50, and I am sure once there is HD competition to the Humax box prices will drop. I'm shelling out £33.50 for line rental+bb+TV at the moment, I wouldn't mind getting it down to £20ish (£10 bb, £10 line rental, free TV).

Just re read you post I had read it that you wanted freesat+, as in Sky +.
If you don't want the recording facility then you can just continue to use your existing Sky box, which will revert to freesat from sky when you cease to subscribe.
