moving home, which broadband is best to get?

Hi all,
Im moving home in a week and am looking to get a phone line and broadband connected up.

Think im going to go wit BT for phone line, sky talk for my calls at £5 per month gives me unlimited calls to my dad in Oz, but im stuck on broadband.

My OH is an xbox360 online gamer so need a fast connection that can hold him in his games. a year and a half ago i was with sky broadband and he kept getting kicked out of his games.

Anyone got any experiences or advice that can help my decide???

many thanks

    Remember that when you use BT for a line installation you'll be liable to a minimum 12 month contract with themselves!

    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)
