I've been blabbing on about doing this for month, but this week I'm gonna finally do it.

I'm about 1/2 mile from the exchange with is local loop unbundled, so I may has well go with the 16MB package (See what deal I can get if any).

My only concerns are:-

Performance and support (Which I understand has drastically improved recently
Interlacing (Slowing down my Game play, although it is only wow currently).


Any comments greatfully recieved.
 
The Sky package as such is very good value. However, ukonline
is also part of the Easynet structure and if they are in your local exchange then this is probably better than Sky.

At present the 8 and 24 meg are free connections. I am on the 8 with 768 upload and find it excellent at £19.99
Course BE is good too - though one really needs to use the router they supply free but with its singular firmware. I am using the same router (thomson speedtoutch 780WL) but with normal firmware and its probaably the best router for good results on a poor line.
