Need a new ISP

[joeyjojo]

Need a new ISP. At least 1 meg, but 2 meg is preffered. I do a fair bit of gaming and p2p. What can people recommend for as cheap as possible without infringing on my gaming/downloading (ie. unlimited)?

The "up to 8mb" from Tiscali looks good at the moment, although the line can only get up to 4.5 meg apparently. However, I've read some stories about tiscali here and it doesn't look great. Traffic shaping, unfair fair usage policy, slow etc.

Need some ideas chaps.

Thanks for the replies.

That's a clear no for tiscali. AOL is too expensive (2 meg for £25??) but this UKFSN looks good. Weekends are off-peak too which is nice.

I'm trying to put 30 GB peak time usage per month into context. 70 hours out of 168 are considered peak each week. A quick calculation shows that one could download at 31.2 KB/s non stop over peak time to hit that 30 gig monthly limit. It's 222.9 KB/s non stop off peak to hit 300 off peak gigs...

Gonna have to think about it while the MAC code is being sorted.

Quick edit: any Toucan users about? Their 2 meg service looked okay, they've just been bought by pipex apparently.
