Moving house

Hello. I would very much welcome anyones advice.
I am preparing to move house, date to be confirmed but I am expecting it to be at the end of March.
I need to sort out my broadband provider, so would welcome advice. We are quite big internet users, My hobby is doing competitions, so spend a good few hours each evening surfing on loads of sites, I send about 20-30 emails a day (I would not want to be commited to just evening use though, as I do sometimes work on different days/times)
My hubby spends plenty of time on Ebay, window shopping! My son is a "gamer" and my daughter watches Iplayer, 4od etc.
I am on AOL at present, I got my price reduced about 8 months ago, so am probably under a contract of some sort - but I only pay £13.30 (ish per month) AOL seems perfect, we have been a customer for about 8 years.
My new house is rural and I have checked out the internet speed for the area and it is not great, (3.6) but so-be-it.
I will be getting Sky installed, is Sky a good internet provider? If I have a sky package that includes phone and internet, how much do I also have to pay to BT?
Will AOL match the deal I am on if I move?
Or is there a better company out there for me?
Thank you in advance.

First thing to do is check the address/phone number to see which ISPs are available to you!
Then review their veriaous products and prices.0 -
Thank you for your reply. I have done that, and it is not in a cable enabled area, other than that I appear to have most companies offering a service in my area.2011: £10 Sports Direct Voucher, Peppa Pig Wii Game, Trivial Pursuit Card Game, £100 Chat magazine win, Dance workout dvd, Grease wii game,0
