Hi all,

I'm moving to a country property on Tuesday and wish to hear of any reccomendations for ISP's.

I tested the internet connection they had which was ADSL with 24Talk, which seems like a crap company and it came in a 0.1Mb, so 1000x times slower than what I currently have :(

There is a second BT line coming into the house so I think I'm going to go with Zen Internet with their 200gig per month package, as even if I get 1Mb I'll have to stop watching HD stuff and I doubt I will go over that. They also have a 1 month contract and I've heard good things about them so I think if anyone can get the best speed possible it will be them.

I have considered the TwoWay satellite broadband, but at £65 for 50gig I'm not sure I want to fork out for that, plus I would need the ADSL on top of that low pings for gaming.

Anyone else been in this position and can recommend a company to squeeze the most out of very little?

Thanks.

You just can't get any LLU stuff, may as well go BT?

OK that seems to make sense then if its BT involved in the essential bit of the process anyway. People aren't particularly complimentary about them but I guess I have no choice in their involvement right?

You have plenty of choice. Have a look at Zen, IDNet & ADSL24 if you want a quality provider.

The BT wholesale checker should give you a realistic speed estimate if you whack in the address. https://www.btwholesale.com/pages/s...unity/Coverage/ADSL_Availibility_Checker.html

Thanks for that. It seems to be the first checker that doesn't tell me the postcode and phone number don't match. Says good for 512k but can vary. If I can get 1Mb I don't mind, 1/10th of that would be almost unusable.
