Hi, well I'm thinking of changing internet now because AOL is really making me go crazy now, but I was looking on speedtest.net and was surprised they had stats for my village, and I looked, and it shown BT, and then one called supanet which seemed to show 1.4mbps higher than BT, anyone heard of supanet before and are they any good?

If not could you recommend some other ISP's, bare in mind I can only use BT landline from what I can tell, no cable or anything and also my max speed according to BT is around 3.5mb/s but I dont know, with AOL it feels like dial up, trying to download demos from variouse sited gives me like 30-80kb/sec and some web pages load super slow :\.

Thanks.
Willz.
 
No LLU in my area.

Will sky and that be able to max my connection at 3.2mbps (350kbps download i get) like AOL?
 
Have you looked into the Enta resellers, that is who I was with before moving to LLU. UKFSN and ADSL24 are the main 2 I believe.
 
Lol, I can clearly see they are too expensive for me, well my dad.

We have sky tv, so is this 10 quid a month up to 16mb and unlimited from sky only on top of the curreny subscription? sounds good if it is.
 
Damn :(, 40gb is not enough, looks like AOL is the only one, on the current package with AOL its up to 8mbps, 60gb a month, but then again thats £27.50.

Yet Enta resellers are too expensive? :/

PS. Just because Supanet is showing quicker than BT, it doesn't mean they will be for you. You need to take in to account the distances of the users, for instance, all the BT users might be further away from the exchange than the Supanet users, thus giving them slower speeds.

Yes actually, £3 more for the same usage, same for ADSL24, and yes AOL is too expensive too since they are limited now. internet prices in the UK are a rip they need to come down. See the monthly cost wants to come down but if that happenes its 30gb a month which wont take long at all to be used up.

I know about the speeds I figured when I released they are results submited by other people.
 
Because if the price comes down, you get a smaller share of the obscenely expensive infrastructure...

£20 gets you 300GB off peak with UKFSN (who are also an Enta reseller) - how the hell is that a rip off? :confused:

The cost of running a connection hasn't changed (in real terms) in about 3 years, speeds have quadrupled while the prices end users are charged have halved, if not more. The problem is consumers who don't want to pay for connections yet still expect to be able to download the internet, get 24/7 tech support et al.
 
I have Supanet unlimited 8MBit BB that actually comes down at about 5.5Mbit, which is about what BT reconed we would get.

They have been fine for us. There customer service department is, rather predictably, indian and poo, but ive only had to phone them once in about 4 years, and that was just to get our online account password reset.
