What's best one to use?

Looking to pick up another broadband supplier, currently with virgin (60mb fibre with phoneline), may use em again if they look to be the cheapest.

So what is best website/any other advice.

Post here,

Thanks :D
 
What exchange are you connected to? How far are you from the exchange?

Why do you want to move? Cost, speed, reliability? If it is speed you will struggle to find a competing product unless you can get FTTC or FTTP. Unless you live in a congested VM area then it doesn't really matter..

is my exchange,

Erm most interested on probably cutting the speed a bit and instead getting something a little cheaper. So basically trying to reduce costs / get good deal.

I don't really need 60mb broadband I never use full amount. Was considering 30mb or maybe even less possible. Far as usage goes some downloading, not really gaming and just watching BBC iplayer and stuff mostly which I think 60mb seems overkill.

See if you can get BT Infinity.

Moving to the 30mb Virgin package could possibly make your broadband reliability worse if you're in a congested area, as usually when you're on the 60mb package you have more bandwidth priority over those on 30mb and below in the same area. BT FTTC on the other hand is better at dealing with loads of connections in the same area.
 
Well you don't want to have the same package as the students, they'll just congest you down :p (I'm a student too but I'm a "bandwidth lightweight" :p).

Not sure but I did get a post the other day from BT about doing the first 6 months free, you could check that out as well.
