Horrible exchange, ISP recommendations?

[Robi]

BT and Virgin are substantially higher than TalkTalk and EE, but I'm guessing that has something to do with providing a better overall service. What about EE? I can get unlimited for £2.50/m due to having an Orange contract. Quick look on the TB forums reveals that Orange throttle, which isn't good.

So, the task is to find an unlimited ISP including rental for sub £25. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Get Virgin media because it's cable.

If you can get Virgin cable and not Virgin ADSL I'd go with that.

BeThere or Sky

What does the BT wholesale checker report about FTTC?

If the exchange is the problem surely VM cable is the only viable alternative?

I don't think I've ever heard anything good about Orange broadband.

Go with Virgin, avoid the exchange

Can't get Virgin cable :/

Easy option there mate, Sky as long as its the proper unlimited and not the one with the cap. To hell with virgin and their throttling

Long story short, the blackfriars exchange is irritating (for my postcode anyway). I originally placed an order with Sky for fibre, but was told less than an hour ago that the order is cancelled and we can't get fibre.

Why - what's the problem?

Alternatively, if you can't get Sky FTTC or VM Cable - then go for Sky's LLU (ADSL2+). No caps, throttling, port blocking, download limits, etc.

I wouldn't really call your exchange 'horrible'. You have lots of good providers available to you. As above, if you can't get FTTC (presumably because your cabinet hasn't been activated yet), I would go with Sky on LLU.

Zen Internet is in Blackfriars, worth a look.
