Here you go:
AAISP
ADSL24
Aquiss
BT
Eclipse
Fast
IDNet
Spitfire
Timico
TitanADSL
uno/xilo
Vispa
vivaciti
Zen
I think the issue mentioned above about 2mb limited speeds on Infinity was just a temporary problem, seems to be sorted now. I still think I will move to Infinity when my exchange is enabled at the end of this month. None of the other ISP's in the list can get close to £25 a month for 300GB.
I'm in Chesterfield, cabinets started appearing here a few weeks ago before the snow came and put a stop to it.
IDNet seem fairly good, but their peak time is 9am to midnight and even if you pay £35 you only get 50GB peak allowance. It would be too tight for me I think, I'm not sure that would be enough.

Is there some kind of Graph/chart type thing that gives you an idea of what sort of speeds you get depending on distance.
I remember viewing one back when ADSL Max came about which gave you a graph of expected speed based on what you currently get.

I've got very low P2P usage but apart from about 10mins during the training period my uploads have never gone above 1Mbps. What is your usage and what time of the day are you seeing the full 8Mbps if you don't mind me asking?
Tense, nervous headaches.
Vomiting.
Diarrhoea.
Dizziness.
Depression.
Anger.
Hate.
Loss of sanity.
Extortion.
Epic fail.
These are but a few of the symptoms that can indicate a BT customer.
Yes.
most of the time its off peak past midnight, although i have woken up a few times and its still able to max out at 8/9am. as far as monthly usage i'd say high, ~200gb of bt's fup. i have to admit though its not ALL the time i get full upload speeds with p2p, more times rather than not i get the customary 130Kb/s

I need more upload then anything. I'm waiting for either BT Infinity or VM faster upload to roll out in my area but it looks like BT Infinity will win as it looks like I can order from 31st December! The VM pdf says I wont get faster uploads until August 
Maybe I need to start maxing out the FUP. Cheers.
BT's own Usenet server is capped but other servers aren't. Unless you go over 300GB/Month then the FUP is triggered and the whole connection is capped to 2Mbps at peak time for 30 days.
Apart from the p2p upload speed I can't fault Infinity.
Indeed - at a guess. Those who could say don't know, and those you know can't say I would guess...
There's a number of ISPs reselling the BT wholesale service - most of whom are significantly more pricey especially for higher limits even close to BT's 300Gb offering.
When Be blogged earlier in the year they suggested the first offering would be via wholesale and limits would be applied -- so I'd assume similar to BT.
talkTalk have announced they will offer a service in the new year using VULA (so direct to openreach, no BTw). No real details except I think the addon was around 9.50 pcm and their existing services are unlimited though there is an unspecific fup. Heard so many bad things I'd worry, but maybe they're better.
sky surely must be working on this, can only assume - probably my first choice, but when.. next month? mid 2011? end 2011?
