Cheapest uncapped LLU provider

pstones578

I'm looking for a 512 or 1meg LLU provider that provides uncapped service. I have the wires for a BT land line but it's been disconnected for a long time so I'm after getting everything through my ISP so I don't have to pay BT for line rental. I do not care about the voice call prices as I will not be using the line for voice.

Check out UKOnline. They're LLU service at 512kbps is £9.99pm.

8Mbps is £29.99pm. And they have said their 24Mbps to be launched will be under £30.


UKOnline & freedom2surf both provide LLU services using Easynet's network. If samknows.com shows it is EasyNet enabled, check the UKOnline & f2s sites to see if they are enabled (they aren't available on all Easynet exchanges yet).

If you are in London, also check out Be Unlimited offering 24Mbps for £20pm with free connection on a 3month contract

LLU = Local Loop Unbundling

Its when a company can take control of the "local loop", to provide you:-
a) ADSL using their own kit, rather than via BTw (BT Wholesale) - this is partial unbundling, as BT still control your voice side of the service.
b) Voice line rental/calls too - only one to do this presently is Bulldog.
