are there ANY isp's that don't traffic shape?

I'd say Nildram would be your best bet, I never encountered any shaping with them. They do have a 50GB cap, but that only includes peak usage, so if you do a lot of downloading overnight, then you're unlikely to go over.
Oh and any unused GBs roll over to the following month.
£26 well spent.

I'd still be with them, but I've just started the migration over to Be*.
I guess I'm just greedy for Speeeeeeeeeed!!! ;)

You have got to be joking, seriously, Nildram are horrible. Getting 0.7kbps on Azureus...

Migrating to Be too.
 
I've never had a problem with Nildram, my speeds are always fine on torrents and usenet.
This very second I'm getting 184kb/s on a torrent, with only 5 seeds.

Ideally don't want to spend more then £25 a month.

Surely you can afford a bit more than that if it's 3-4 people sharing?

Personally I reckon Nildram are a good bet simply because they are a very well established ISP with a strong technical team, and their capping system is very fair. I was with them for 4.5 years on ADSL of various types (and isdn/56k before that) before moving house last year, but it's possible things may have changed lately as the 'Pipex effect' starts to take hold.

Are nildram, well the pipex group not being bought out by tiscali who definatley do shape and cut download speeds??

ADSL24 is great :D I have been with them for over a month now and the service is excellent.
The centrals can get hammered sometimes between 10:30pm and around mid-night, but they soon pick up. You can check their performance here: http://noc.enta.net/?page_id=166

no i don't get anywhere near that. i was merely saying that's what i could download if i wanted to, for 19.99 a month. my allowance is 330gb....yet highlander is contemplating the unlimited package for 67.99 :eek:

Perhaps that is a little crazy ;)

Thats a lot of Linux ISOS indeed!

Im not sure how much I do id guess about 100-150gig+ per month easily, only problem is my Linux ISOS are filthy.

I was thinking of going back down to 2meg ADSL uncapped/still plenty fast as it is/8meg unlimited is stunning though will miss the amazing surfing bandwith/

is there service unlimited?

no it's not - but it is a cracking ISP - doesn't traffic shape or throttle at any time that i have noticed but the £21.99 a month only gets you 25gb a month.

I'm with them and always happy with the service/speeds etc but the 25gb is getting a touch annoying each month now.

well the good thing about enta net is you can monitor your usage online. it's updated every 24 hours. you can even setup email alerts everyday so you're completely upto date. :)

ahh i would need more than 25gb sadly :(
 
Pretty decent. I think the lowest I've seen the centrals drop is an expected speed of 3mbit on peak, on offpeak, it seems to stay within 1meg of the maximum expected throughput (7.2mbps). Entanet have been fine tbh, Im through them with UKFSN and I've had much better service than I ever had with Pipex. I've been with UKFSN for about 6 months now, and am on the office45 package I believe, if that's relevant.

If you go there, you can check the maximum expected throughput on all the centrals at any given time :)
