    i would recommend zazizam - if you use around 5GB a month - which quite a lot for some people, then compared to a similar madasafish package it is £2 a month less (MAAF £17.99 normally, whilst zazizam is £15.99) - though zazizam do have several unlimited packages, if you do not wish to worry about looking at your usage levels, which start from £15.99

    I have been using zazizam for a couple of years now, and have had no problems

    The big advantage of Madasafish to MSE users is their Customer Service help out with any problems on this thread..

    I am with Tesco, have been since the start and no problems, they now have several different packages depending on your usage :)

    But Madasafish have a very low useage allowance - its £2 per gig over their minimal allowance. Im with ukonline - no limits - a former unhappy madas customer.
  • Hi Guys,

    Just wanted to make a quick note as our pricing was quoted in this thread as £17.99 a month - this is the normal price of broadband if you're outside of your 12 month contract and don't wish to renew.

    Most people in their first 12 months benefit from promotional pricing. If you were going to sign up with Madasafish then I would recommend using the promotional code CHEAPER which will get you £1 off a month for the first year of service; £10.99 a month for the first six months of service followed by £16.99 a month for the remaining six months of service. This is the equivelent of paying £13.99 a month.

    When you're outside of the first 12 months then it will revert to the £17.99 a month subscription price, however you can contact our Care team (care@madasafish.com) and ask them what the best deal is they can give you in exchange for a new 12 month contract and they'll offer you the best deal available.

    Kind regards,
    Samara

    Hi
    Have a look at Freeola, 3mth trial offer on at the moment, upto 8mbs, free activation, 30gb on peak - 300gb off peak download/upload limit per mth, good clean lines, no throttling/traffic shaping for £14.99mth, then reverts to £24.99 after the 3mth trial, but then you can migrate to someone else if you wanted to.

    Hi Sarah

    Do you know what speed you can get at the moment? Not much point in paying for 8mg if you can't get it.
