Unlimited Broadband? Who is the best?

I use the internet about 90mins per day maximum. I dont download many files or send large emails etc but I would like to stay unlimited for flexibility. I am currently with Supanet and pay 22.96 per month unlimited. Who is the best provider at the moment bearing in mind cost and quality of service? Do I really need unlimited?
Help me Im cracking up!!! :confused:

    I have just joined Euro1Net having read about them on the excellent ISP Review site.

    Do a search on these forums for other threads regarding Euro1Net.

  • This is a great offer but it appears that you cant pay monthly and the subs are paid up front. Is that right?
  • You really dont need umlimited (or at least the most you need is someone with a unlimited but with a Fair Use Policy).

    First, gets yourself a free program to monitor how much you are downloading (Netmeter is one I use, its free, search for it on Google) to get an idea of how much you really need.

    I moved from BT Yahoo to Zen Internet for unlimited (I did 250 Gig last month!) but it costs me £30 a month.

    I've been with AOL (1mbps) for the last month or 2, and have had no problems at all.

    They have an offer where you pay £14.99 for the 1st 6 months (I think), and after that you have to pay £17.99.

    However, when I called them up, they offered me £15.99 per month for 12 months, which works out a bit cheaper. Plus it continues at £15.99 after the 1st 12 months, whereas the offer above continues at £17.99.

    It's also completely unlimited, if thats important to you.

    I know Toucan have a slightly better offer, and I originally chose them, but I had a lot of problems with them before I even got connected, and I found their customer services to be the most unprofessional bunch I've ever come across! (and I've dealt with some bad ones in my time!). Hence I cancelled just in time and went with AOL!

    Don't regret my decision for one second, and am very happy with the price.

    i would say you would be ok with 2GB usage... since you dont download much, nor spend long online either.... I suggest zazizam's 2mb (soon to be 8mb), 2gb package @ £11.99/£13.99 - i have had no problems at all
