Hi, I'm movin in with 6 friends next year (uni house) and I'm looking for a decent ISP I can go to.

Ideally I would like 8mb uncapped DSL but I would settle for 4.

I also need a simple easy way to set it all up, not wireless. I think I'm the only with even the basic knowledge of networks so I would like control over their connections to make someone doesnt start using torrents or something and cain the uploads and knacker the speed.

If this is possible any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
 
First step, work out whether you can get cable or LLU. Samknows is your friend.

If you can't get LLU or cable, then your only option for "unlimited, cane it 24/7" is probably something like Zen's Office8000 at £93 a month.
 
when I put my number in the checker it just says it isnt a BT phone line, what can I do now?

I think the people who were in before us were on NTL, dont really want that though.

Any ideas?

Cheers
 
Give it your postcode then. Its estimate of what speed you'd get on BTw ADSL won't be accurate, but it should still give you an idea of what you can get.
 
ok it says I can receive upto 6.5Mb or faster ADSL and/or cable. But I'll have to get my line changed to BT wont I?

How much about is that gonna cost me?

Also once I have it all sorted what kind of setup within the house would you recommend?

Thanks for your help btw, appreciated.
