Hi AOL have slowed my speed right down...... :mad:

I want to change to another provider
but don't want a down load limit or this 'Fair Use policy'

Thanks

    I have noticed that Martin recommends zaggle for unmetered access [when I was looking for dial-up for a friend] - and when looking I noticed they offer (pretty much) an unlimited 8Mb service for £17 a month - there is no set FUP or download restrictions in place. I am considering switching to them myself - then I'd recommend friends to switch to then I can save more off my bill :)

    Will as your on BT you have to have a good quality telephone line and also not too far from the exchange to get good speeds, I myself am on sky and pay for up to 16mb and get 14-15mb all throughout the day (live about a mile from the exchange) and put it this way i download excessively when i start, and so far i ain't been warned or anything but before i came to sky i did my own test/comparisons to see what speeds to expect

    Will maybe you could post your internet stats off your modem/router page as i or other people could give you a estimate of what to expect from different companies like sky etc

    also how much are you expecting to download a month 40gb or more, also another company that i was with that were good were BE Internet (24 pound a month up to 24mb download speed and 1.3mb uplaod speed) i used to download 40gb from night to morning every day for a week or so and used the internet in the day as normal they never complained either

    BE is good. So far no user has experiencing throtting even at 300GB download per month.

    As a Be* customer myself, I wholeheartedly recommend them. Put it like this: when we (as a house, as there's 6 of us in total, all students) made the switch from Be* to Virgin Media XL as our phoneline can only get 10mb, I actually APOLOGISED for cancelling my contract with Be*! I've NEVER done that with any other company. There's a LOT of goodwill between Be* and its customers, even if there's problems - they're pushing the boundaries of the technology and there will be problems, and no company's perfect - but they're small and the interaction between customers and staff is good, so go get service with them asap if you exchange is LLU enabled by Be*.


    Entanet resellers are some of the only viable, cost-effective alternatives for residential users on Max lines who can't afford >£80pm for a business connection.

    If you live in a cable area , Virgin Media dont have download limits (although they do restrict your speed if you download a lot between 4pm and 12)

    Yes I can only agree about Be. I've been with them for almost two years and I can't remember one single outage and speed is always excellent.
    I cancelled my Be contract 3 months ago as I thought about getting a cheaper deal, but changed my mind just a week before the disconnection date (after reading some reviews about cheap ISP:s) and phoned Be up and begged them to take me back :-)
