What is the best Broadband deal?????

surfingh2o2000

I'm looking to switch from dial up to Broadband.

Looking around there are many deals.  Some seem to mention a download limit some don't.

I feel the best offer is from Onetel.  What are your thoughts? :-/

I play online games, send photos, listen to the radio etc, I don't think 2GB is enough for that.  Is it???? ???

Thanks

Have a look at 'e7even', no download limits and 10 x dial-up speed.

It depends how much broadband speed you want...

I was with dial-up Telewest till April 2004. I was paying £13.99 per month, I switched to their 256K speed broadband for £17.99 per month....('free' modem, free instal)

For another £4 per month I am thoroughly enjoying broadband. Even at 256K instead of the popular 512K, I can still download 2 files at the same time and enjoy fast web surfing!

I assume you've read Martin's article on this.
I use Pipex 512 and have found it very reliable and at £23.44 / month cheaper than Virgin (also found it very good) £25 / month. As per the previous post, you need to decide what you will use BB for. There are much cheaper deals around which are capped (again read Martin's article as he points out loopholes).
Make sure your deal includes free modem, set up and you might be able to squeeze the first month free as well.
Best of luck.

if you can, i would go for telewest. we got it for £24.99 a month for 512 K with free installation. also got another 20 quid because we threatened to leave telewest telephone for BT. they then upgraded it to 768K for free.

Telewest are probably not the cheapest around but the service is pretty good. the speed is consistently high and in 6 months i have not experienced any down time.

very reliable and good value in my opinion. but you need to have cable tv with them as well. the cheapest cable package is around 3.99 for some freeview channels and some other channels including E4 etc.

We are just in the process of moving from Freedom2Surf (great service, no problems), to Metronet ().

They have various levels of subscription, depending upon your usage. From what you've said, it sounds as though the 200MB download a month (512k) for £10 may be enough for you. If not, you can pay a bit more for more downloading.

1MB line is from just £14.26, and 2MB is from £16.80.

I would have thought this too good to be true, but have no need to be wary of poor service as a friend has been with them for a while now, and has had no problems. In fact he recommended us to them.

I am currently on Virgin.net's unlimited package of £24.99, but yesterday's weekly email from Virgin offered me £17.99 for a limited service (limited to 3Gb - more than Wanadoo's limited package, and more than my own monthly requirments).

I am unsure if this is open to just existin customers, or to new subscribers also. Worth checking out!

A lot of people slate NTLworld but I've used them for years. I upgraded to broadband about two years ago. They give you a few options:

1) 300K Broadband Internet @ £17.99p/month

2) 750K Broadband Internet @ £24.99p/month

3) 1.5Mb Broadband Internet @ £37.99p/month

If you choose NTL you would require a cable connection being available to your place of installation. Their website: http://www.home.ntl.com/icat/broadband
Has a "postcode" checking facility to see if it's available in your area.

Faster speeds than most at good prices. I think there might even be a half price offer on at the moment with free installation, but check it out first if you decide to use them.
