Recommend ISP <£20/month

My m8 wants to get broadband to do some torrent downloading, a bit of gaming and general browsing.
Max his line can get is 2Mbit so no need for higher speeds. Need either 20GB monthly limit + or unlimited downloads. Must not cap downloads at any time!!

I was going to stick him on with AOL Silver (upto 2mb) but for whatever reason they have changed some of their prices/packages and it's £24.99 for it on his line, even though my mum has the £15.99 1Mbit package with them.

I personally use AOL Platinum 8Mbit, and it's just spot on, no caps, low pings, unlimited downloads. Couldn't ask for more!! Also never had any problems with them which is why I usually recommend them. I don't install their software, just connect through the Netgear router they provide.

So yeah, if some of your guys can make some suggestions that'd be great.
Cheers.

been looking into it and it seems that for a none LLC exchange Sky.com's deal, their "connect" package upto 8mbit with a 40gb limit for £17 a month seems to be the best around.
Is it just me or is broadband in general going up in price?!

I saw a stat somewhere saying that Aberdeenshire has the most registered broadband users in the whole uk at just over 50% Which is funny since none of us get cable and hardly any have decent fast exchanges!

Speed is dependant on distance (and if there is a good LLU provider but that's beside the point.)

Have a look at IDnet and Entanet resellers (UKFSN, ADSL24, Vivaciti, Falconnet and Aquiss - who I'm with but are more expensive.)
