Is there a thing as a 'cheap' decent ISP?

Here is the situation:

Me and my gf are wanting to move in together and i am wanting to save some cash. Currently i am saving £250 a month but need more. I am looking to cut my outgoings to a minimum.

At the moment i use ukfsn £20 a month. Can i get a pretty decent connection - play games now and then, however just for fun and not competitive any more.

Usage (Left total usage / Right Peak Usage):

06 Apr 2008 - 05 May 2008 26.18 GB 8.99 GB
06 Mar 2008 - 05 Apr 2008 17.96 GB 7.27 GB
06 Feb 2008 - 05 Mar 2008 7.29 GB 4.19 GB
06 Jan 2008 - 05 Feb 2008 18.15 GB 6.33 GB
06 Dec 2007 - 05 Jan 2008 4.4 GB 3.39 GB

Would doing a deal with my parents with BT package be worth it?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

^^ cant get them in my area... i was under the impression that Tiscali is a LLU service so why can i not get these?

The following services are available in your location:

BT Wholesale ADSL
BT Wholesale ADSL Max
Tiscali LLU
Tiscali TV (via Tiscali LLU)
Orange LLU (Formerly Wanadoo)

In that case, nothing too cheap. Entanet reseller is your best bet.

ADSL24, it's cheap for what you get.

No more so then UKFSN.

You will not get better/almost as good for cheaper unless you go for Sky (in which case why not get rid of Sky TV?) or Be Value.

Be and Sky LLU are not available to the OP though, according to their post.

Because LLU involves ISPs installing their own kit in your exchange, which so far be/o2 and UKonline/Sky haven't done - though the availability checker may show a provisional date for when that might happen.
