Not possible. LLU might get you close to that, but any ISP offering BT Home Max on an unlimited basis would be committing commercial suicide - unless they have a collosal userbase with a high percentage of very low users (like AOL).

if you can get telewest then get one of their broadband products.

very low downtime and no usage caps.

That would be about £80 pounds per month on AdslMax.

Sure you need unlimited?

Plusnet is unlimited outside the peak hours of 4-12pm. It's not hard to schedule major downloads for off peak time... My peak hours limit is either 10 or 13GB so even that’s quite a lot.

When will that change though?

Who knows... I've been with plusnet for years - things always change, but I've generally got on pretty well with them.

You will struggle to get a good isp that offers unlimited nowadays.
I am considering joining UKFSN as it looks very promising and the prices are very reasonable.

Check them out.

Ironic really that ADSLmax has forced ISPs into limiting a lot of services for customers. I really hope this doesn't set the trend for the next 10 years on the internet until fibre becomes a reality.

Both http://www.aquiss.net/broadband-max.php and UKFSN use Enta Net who rate highly in my books.

I did until about 6months ago. When they changed it all, just left a sour tast. Since then I've become and Enta Net user.
