I would highly recommend Metronet but in your position (having been with ntl) the set up costs may be high. Someone on here mentioned the possibility of registering with Virgin.net for a month to get free installation and then transferring to Metronet to avoid the installation cost, but I'm not sure whether that actually works..0

I'm the one trying the virgin thing. I think I won't work as I'll probably end up not being IP Stream and therefore not begin able to transfer but having to pay the usual connection fee. I'll post when I find out. (Going to transfer to EFH if possible as they are 9.99+VAt for unlimited)
I emailed Virgin to ask which stream I would be on... lets just say I hope their broadband is faster than there response...

If that works, it's a very cunning plan. Do you know if the the virgin package (I assume it's the £17.99 one your going for) has the correct 50:1 contention ratio for migration to EFHs £9.99 package?0
-
I don't think the 50:1 is the problem, it'll be the stream used.
I get connected tomorrow so I'll let you all know whether I'm on IP or datastream...
Fingers crossed.If at first you don't succeed... CHEAT...0 -
