Looking for a new ISP

Hi all,

I'm looking to switch from VM as their cable service in my area is atrocious, and they've been leading me along with fix dates for the oversubscribed issue in my area.

According to Samknows broadband, I have access to the following providers:

BT
AOL
O2/Be Unlimited
Bulldog
TalkTalk
Sky / Easynet
Newnet
Tiscali

Of these, which are likely to provide me the best service? I'm after a connection that isn't going to throttle me for using it, good speed at all times including peak times, and good customer service. I'll be using this connection mainly for gaming and streaming videos.

Thanks in advance

For your requirements - definately go for Be, I highly recommend them. Alternatively, go for Sky's LLU package (no caps, throttling, etc).

Don't bother with the rest on the list.

I am moving away from VM too mate. I am in the Leeds area.

I have narrowed it to BT and Be. Let me know what you choose

Badboy, I wouldn't bother with BT.. Shocking throttling, traffic shaping, etc - go for BE!
