ADSL2+, £18/month @ BeThere
£18.00
One of the best ISPs around I think, and they just lowered their prices. You get adsl2+ up to 24mbit (10-16mbit are more typical),
with essentially no usage restrictions (30GB/day), and 1.3mbit upload. They also loan you a rather nice wireless/voip router, a Speedtouch 780.
Alternatively, if you want upload they do "Be Pro" annex M adsl2+ with up to 2.5mbit upload, for £22/month - the fastest upload you can get with a domestic ISP. At the cheaper end you get 8mbit for £14/month.
Remember quidco, at £55 it's a nice bonus.
For comparison, the only other genuine unlimited adsl2+ provider out there is Bulldog, and they're 25/month, as well as being extremely incompetent. UKO have moderate limits, but are 25/month also. Sky are cheaper at 10/month if you have satellite TV, but enforce limits and don't offer anywhere near as good a service as the others. Don't even mention Orange, AOL, CPW and co....

ENSURE YOU ARE NOT STILL INSIDE A CONTRACTUAL PERIOD WITH YOUR CURRENT PROVIDER, MOST WILL WANT AT LEAST 1MONTH'S NOTICE TO LEAVE
IF MIGRATING FROM ANOTHER PROVIDER YOU WILL REQUIRE A MAC CODE FROM YOUR CURRENT PROVIDER IF YOU ASK FOR IT AND YOU USE IT STRAIGHT AWAY YOU WILL LIKELY OWE YOUR CURRENT PROVIDER 3WEEKS USAGE FOR A SERVICE YOU CANNOT USE AS BETHERE WILL HAVE TAKEN OVER YOUR SERVICE, I RECOMMEND GETTING A MAC CODE AND USING IT 14-20DAYS AFTER GETTING THE CODE TO AVOID THIS.
THERE IS A 7DAY NOTICE PERIOD TO CANCEL IF YOU DO NOT CANCEL 7DAYS AFTER ORDERING YOU ARE SUBJECT TO THE BE CONTRACT/NOTICE PERIODS ETC.

Edit: seems they have "fair use" limits, but like all ISPs it's kept deliberately vague. Posts on adslguide suggest lots of people have downloaded several 100GB/mth without problems, and I've never heaard of anyone being kicked off or throttled.

If you are with bulldog you are still paying line rental, just to Bulldog instead of BT directly.
BT Line is £11/month or so. I suggest you do quite a bit of research, www.adslguide.org.uk forums before leaving bulldog as they have your pstn phoneline and LLU service, and chances are moving away from them will equal at least a 1-2days if not more downtime of loss of phone line and service. Hopefully I'm wrong, but being sceptical in life avoids disappointment  Also, are you still inside a contractual period with bulldog? |

Perfect timing for me - have just dumped Virgin Cable and was going to get Bethere next week after BT came to install the line. Was going to go for the 8 meg service, but will now get the 24 meg - am only 870 m straight line from exchange so this is a great deal for me v. hot Don't forget quidco. |

And there ends the example of cable being excempt from the strict regulations which BT comes under and noone else does beause cable moans like hell to Ofcom, shame they can't moan to BT about these LLU prices
 because BT wouldn't be allowed to for sure. |

So long as you are outside your cable contract period (which will want 30days notice if outside it) and have an active bt line you can get this without hassle Don't forget quidco. Was going to go Bethere anyway so this is cracking for me - and yes, I had forgotten quidco, so thanks for the reminder. VM are now simply hopeless and after 10 years of being a customer of theirs have decided enough is enough. This is great news for me. |
