Has anyone been looking into new ISP's for this ?
I'm with Pipex at the moment and I'm thinking of leaving. Their Max price is £34 a month, I'm looking for something under £30 with a decent usage, maybe 40 or 50 gb. I won't use that much but I'd rather have too much.
My exchange has now been set up and is to be switched on the 31st along with many more exchanges. So it's time to decide now.

I refuse to ever join an ISP that tries to limit my unlimited usage. Confused

I'd do my best to find one that offers no limits but as i'm a staunch cable user I can't help with suggesting any suppliers.

Blueyonder have now been acquired by NTL.

I won't use anyone else for Broadband.

Plus this means NTL have now acquired Telewests infrastructure (Which is ADVANCED)... Meaning you'll get rocket speeds from them soon.

They all seem to bringing them in though. Pipex offer "unlimited" but it has a fair usage policy and according to some they have also been throtteling P2P connections to 20kb/s. Not exaclty ideal if your paying for an 8mb connection.

Although the 8mb is starting in a few weeks alot of the ISP's web sites have still to show their prices yet. It's a real pain trawling through every site trying to find prices.

I'm not sure, I know a few people that work there so I'll ask about.

Really wouldn't surprise me if they're starting to test 100mb though.

They are trialling it on certain sections of the network I think, not all. But this is the tip of the iceberg I think.
I have had no problems myself, I am on exteme5, it was extreme4 they were testing it on.
