Currently with Demon and of late it seems they are constantly throttling my connection at peak times (I download very little so it isnt down to a usage cap or anything like that)

This is my exchange details.
http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/EMASBOU

It tells me that orange and talk talk are the only LLu in my area. I had a bad experience with orange in the past where I cancelled pipex to get an 8mb service Orange gave me 2Mb and told me that was the best my line would give me, so i immedietly cancelled and jumped on 8mb with demon.
And I hear only bad things about talk talk so would be reluctant to use them.

any ideas guys ?

it seems they all do traffic shaping though ?
All I want is constant speed at any time for a reasonable price :)
 
does anyone know if demon have a section on there website that would tell me my useage per month or even for last month ?

Just to give me an idea of what kind of useage cap i need to sign up for.

Thanks for the help so far guys.

Just checked out my bills for demon, looks like I have been with them since December 2006. my package is called home 8000, and they have never asked me to switch to one of the newer packages when they were created.

What is LLU ? is that ADSL2 ?
looking at my exchange it looks like our 21CN WBC date has been set for end of this month, if that is accurate I guess I may as well wait until then.

Samknows says that orange and talktalk are the only LLU operators on my exchange (am I right in my original assumption, that I should avoid both of these like the plague ? )

fluff I know that feeling very well.

Have just signed up to a vivacity phone/broadband package, for ~ £26 a month they say I should see around 15Mb download speed with my line. :)

They do traffic shaping during office hours (7 till 7 or something silly like that) but only on P2P and newsgroups. I'm happy with that if I'm honest :)
