Cheapest broadband

Talktalk over a BT line rather than LLU is very poor, I'd say the Orange option is probably best based on price.
 
don't know if this really help but i was a plusnet customer and while i was happy with what i was getting, i honestly think my connection was being throttled in the evening. i switched to orange and the connection has been so much better, could be the new router, who knows but i was looking for a cheap package with unlimited downloads and with the discount it worked out the same price. its around £23 a month inclusive of line rental for any time calls and unlimited broadband.
 
Plusnet is just a different fronted brand for BT i.e. any traffic problems associated with bt happens to plusnet. Orange is undoubtedly the best deal without caps, but that said there are still options like adsl24 which still run on bt lines - but they all have some cap between 50-90GB.

Wales has a lot of small fiber broadband initiatives going on, have you looked into those?

PlusNet is owned by BT. Traffic is separate. Customer service is based in Yorkshire, UK. Many differences.
 
Be careful. You do tend to get what you pay for with ADSL.

Talk Talk, Tiscali, PlusNet, BT .... I've had dealings, or know friends that have, with all of those, and I wouldn't recommend a single one of them.

I've watched friends on BT and Tiscali repeatedly disappear randomly when gaming or chatting on IM, then come back swearing that their connection dropped .... again!

I've been cable now for 4 or 5 years and wouldn't go back (not that that helps you). Definitely worth reading the thinkbroadband forums before you settle on a provider, unless you want your mum on he phone to you all the time moaning about her connection ;)

PlusNet by the way are the company that run the expensive bandwidth shaping hardware, the same stuff that BT now use since they bought them out. Crippled connections for all!

Traffic goes along the same pipes, has the same shaping as bt and one of bts largest call centres is in Leeds (i.e. Yorkshire). It's the same thing re-branded for people tired of bt.
