Need new uncapped broadband service provider!

It's none of my business but what kind of things do you use to get over 40gig a month if you don't use P2P?

Do you use skype? Becuase I know that uses your connection to route other people's calls so uses up your bandwidth.

A friend uses UK online and since he got it 3 months ago, he has not been able to use he phone line for voice calls as UKonline stuffed something up and are being slow at fixing it.

UK online does have a limit but it's 500Gb/month (somewhere in their T&Cs) so effectively it's unlimited.

Zen are very good and reputable if you want an uncapped service.

I'm surprised to hear they've had issues...

I have had nothing but a great service from them and tech support have been very helpful.

My issues were related to the fact that I live just that little bit too far from the exchange, so not their fault, but they have still bent over backwards to give me a stable service :j

Zen look ok but the Activation Charge of £40.00 & £29.78 per month is a little steep.

with euro1net.com 2meg connection is £15.99 per month + 50 Activation charge (1 year)
Avctivation charge is wavered if you subscribe for 2 years

1meg connection is £10.00 per month + 50 Activation charge (1 year)
Avctivation charge is wavered if you subscribe for 2 years

The Zen activation charge is if you don't have broadband already. Migration is free. SEE HERE

Capped at 500Gig/month from what I've heard - so essentially uncapped.

On their website:

Zen say:

No bandwidth cap
Unlike ADSL accounts from some other ISPs, Zen places no limits on the amount of data you can transfer in a month. You are only restricted by the speed of your line and the limits of your imagination as to what to download.
