Hi, having a hard time finding the right package, im looking for unlimited downloads, and an isp that is not going to throttle the connection, using BT atm and its painfully slow at times, looked at some of the review website, but they dont seem to give info on who does and does not throttle the line

thanks
 
Unless things have changed recently, I believe Be* and Sky are the only ISPs to provide a true unlimited package without traffic shaping?
 
What exchange are you connected to? www.samknows.com

If you have Sky LLU or FTTC available then go for them. Alternatively if you have cable then obviously go with Virgin.
 
Sky LLU by a long shot. I was on 02 for the past year and they were ok for 6 months, no slowdowns using .torrent or other sharing sites. The last 6 months were hell, slowdowns and traffic shaping like you wouldn't know it. Horrible service and one not to recommend.

Had Sky now for a month and get a rock solid 1.9Mbps D/L anytime of day regardless what I am downloading. Brilliant line and connection, plus its 6 months free too :) Had Be* but I suffered a lot of shortages it seemed to be down a lot did the service, I have no idea if it was my exchange but I never got these problems with o2.

Go with Sky :)
 
Make sure its Sky LLU though! If you are in the middle of nowhere its possible your exchange is not LLU enabled.
 
Might also be worth posting the line (connection) statistics from your router - if the problem is your line, then changing ISP might not help.
