Broadband suggestions for SW16

Hi all,

Moving into our new home in Streatham SW16 soon and have heard some bad review about BT, EE and Virgin..

The nearest exchange (Streatham) has the following LLU services available to it - AOL, O2/Be, Sky, TalkTalk, Tiscali.

Decent online console gaming speeds required - any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated!

Comments

  • If you look there will be LOTS of complaints about TalkTalk, AOL and Tiscali.

    O2 sold their BB side off to SKY. I left O2 when they were going to do that. SKY are terrible. My FIL made several complaints about their persistant sales calls when he cancelled his package with them.

    Well had a quick look on SamKnows, and it looks like you exchange may be enabled in some areas for BT FTTC. Try entering your full details in the Broadband Checker, and post the results here.

    Your options are basically Sky, TT or VM (the former two may give you FTTC options as well as ADSL) depending on availability of FTTC-use the number checker.
    You also have the non-LLU options such as Plusnet.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
