    Of course, if you're with Sky, and pay a certain amount, you get it bundled in free and there's also Talk Talk with Carphone Warehouse. Look at this as well:-

    You're probably better off staying where you are and ringing them on 150 for a discount or a free speed upgrade.

    then try aol silver for 9.99 per month. 2mb speed and no download limit.
    very reliable service in my experience. push them for a free wireless router too!

    I'd avoid AOL, Sky, TalkTalk, Orange, or any other ISP which is bundled free with another service. I'd probably stick with cable and go for an upgrade or switch to a decent ISP.

    I've got Tiscali and £12-99/month with 1MB speed and no limit.
    Not a bad service and very few problems.
    I'll be asking for a speed upgrade when my initial contract expires in a few weeks time.

    I'd advise looking through https://www.adslguide.org.uk - an excellent comparison site and it carries forums for each major provider, so you can compare service/speed as well as compare prices.

    Not sure where you get the £9.99 from - it's shown as £14.99pm!
