    BigAde, do Virgin have a facility to let you check how much data you're actually downloading each month. I though that I would need an uncapped package, as I'm online a lot, downlaod quite a lots of large files, and I also have XBox live and frequently 'game' online. However, upon checking my usage via the service provided by Tiscali, I've only once ever gone over 2Gb in one month, so for me, I think a capped package would be suitable.

    With PlusNet, if you know what you expect to use each month, you can change the download limit if you select the 'Lite' package, and specify the number of GB's you want each month, after you have signed up.

    Just something to think about, as I'm always wary about thinks that seem too cheap, which ADSL4LESS does to me.

    Thanks for the link, very useful.

    Admittedly it seems cheap, but they get good feedback on these forums as well as on ADSLGuide and you're only signed up for a maximum of one month at a time. If the service is no good, I'll just vote with my feet after a month.

    I'm going for an uncapped package because I use the connection for work use as well, which could potentially result in huge download volumes. Since at £14.99 a month it costs no more than most capped packages I think I'd be stupid not to at least try it.
    Ah! Good old trusty beer... I hope you never change.
