I'll get straight to the point.
The next academic year, which starts at the end of September is when myself and my other 5 flat mates will be moving into our new student house. The most important thing on our list is Broadband and choosing an ISP. There's 6 of us and all of use either have a laptop or computer/ console or a mixture of them.
2 of us are online gamers, so we want a pretty decent connection speed at least, even when others are online.
I've already figured out we're probably going to need truly unlimited, most of us download and a 100GB/month cap isn't what we need.
Bear in mind here, there's most likely going to be 6 of us online at any one time, most days, particularly on a night and during exams - which isn't the kind of time you want a connection error.
Finally, we're students and can't exactly afford 50meg Virgin Media Super Duper broadband, but would like to go with them if they're cheap enough.
Which ISP provide cable? (Is it just Virgin?) and which have truly unlimited? I know SKY does, but aren't they're through the phone line?
We're not particularly bothered about TV, we're too busy most of the time and freeview does fine. SO... Cheap, while relatively quite fast and truly unlimited broadband is what we're looking for.
My flat mate was thinking of 02... because it's truly unlimited. Yea, simply because no one can get speeds fast enough to exceed 20GB month let alone 100.
Thanks guys!
