whos recommended for good cheap service?

used to be on 14 a month fro mo2 but now sky own them they ant to put it up insanley.
 
Just dumped Sky myself after being migrated over to them from O2. Sky have been utterly useless in this time. No warning they were switching me over, 4 very different answers to a simple question about using my 3rd party modem (which coincidentally seemed to have died during the switch over and I've had to buy a new one) and router. Their online/email "support" is the worst I've experienced as they don't appear to bother reading your question and just reply with some generic crap about restarting the sky hub. Their phone support hasn't been too bad though.

In fact today I received a Sky Recovery Disk....not sure why but if I had to guess I'd say they didn't bother reading my complaint email properly (again).

Either way, have gone with Plusnet's ADSL2+ service until my local cab has been upgraded to FTTC (exchange is already FTTC enabled). £2.50 a month plus line rental, free weekend landline calls, full UK based support, the option of a static IP address for a one off fee of £5 and free upgrade to fibre when available even if I'm mid contract. Plus they openly allow you to use 3rd party devices. Annoyingly I have to wait till the 10th March for the service to be activated.
 
Plusnet or BT.


I'm with BT, can't fault the service I've had, I find the BT wifi hotspots very useful.

My BT unlimited is £12.60 ish a month, plus line rental, which I pay one a year.
 
Had plusnets fibre and must say it was fab! Not had there adsl service so cant comment on that. I guess they may traffic shape compared to sky but i may be wrong
 
BT do a great service and fairly cheap. Even moreso if you pre-pay your line rental.

Other than them closing and re-opening my account last week causing a loss of service for 4 days due to no fault of my own they have provided good speeds and really nice ping.

I switched over and pay £15 per month for phone, BB unlimited and sky. Connection is good and reliable.

Just got fibre in my area, so when this runs out, will be in your boat. Doubt I'll stick with sky as it goes from discounted £15 to £60 lol
