Hey guys, i've been with plus.net for nearly 2 years now and im starting to notice changes which i personally dont agree with.

I've been taking a look at virgin broadband, but from the reviews i've read on the internet its not that good.

I was just wondering if anyone has any recommended ISP's i could check out?

Im after 8mb around £20 PCM.

Thanks
 
Thanks the_box, i've just been checking out quite a few posts on this forum about Enta products, one thing im worried about is the peak times are huge 8am - 10pm, there the times im most active on the internet and im just worried that if i migrate i'll loose what speed i can get.
 
thats what i was worried about too, however enta have just activated 2 centrals with another 2 to be activated soon! My friend already has broadband through Titanadsl and he has put his life down that their are no major affects on network performance. see here http://noc.enta.net/?page_id=166
 
The peak times are designed to protect buisness customers i.e. you will get full speed in those time. Off peak on weekdays has a slowdown from 10pm till 1.30am. Weekends are a bit of a drag with varying high loads. All this can be monitored via http://noc.enta.net/ the ALT connection speed doesn't drop below 2Mbps.

Worth mentioning other Enta sellers are ADSL24, UKFSN, Vivaciti, Falconnet and Aquiss who I am with.

Well at the moment i could connect to a FTP and get 750k download at roughly anytime, im guessing at weekends i'd get a lot less?
 
They are averaging 3-4Mbps at the moment over the weekend. I personally find this suits me fine. I don't usually need to do any major downloading that I need right now but I like the fact that I will run out of hard drive space before I will run out of allowance. :p

Plus has very good ping times. :D

Edit: No they haven't. They lit 1 155Mbps segment on central 4 and added the 5th central to help with load balancing - all with in the last 2 weeks. They usually average a central every 4 months/a segment a month.

A nice fact though is they have increased central capacity 500% in the last year.
