    I assume you have cable broadband? if so you cannot transfer the service.

    The other option you have is ADSL which you'll need to get a BT landline in order to get broadband services from other companies :)

    and theres no other company out there that offers true unlimited downloads! :)

    thanks norman i just dont want to be stuck with them ...might need to get a different phone anyway so i'll look into bt thanks
  • Hi Elantan,

    Be careful if you're looking for an unlimited service, a lot of providers who advertise as unlimited aren't actually unlimited.

    You're much better off actually knowing what your general usage is like and then going with a provider who openly publishes their guidelines. Otherwise you may get caught out by a Fair Usage Policy.

    Expresso has written a good article on how to check your usage.

    And here is a good article explaining the false economy of "unlimited" broadband: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/05/08/unlimited_broadband_ads_dishonest/

    Good luck choosing your future ISP!

    Kind regards,
