Hiya. After some advice re ISPs 
I do not have a phone line where I live, there is a socket but no dial tone. This means it's going to cost £122.50 to have one activated.
If i go with BT for broadband (at £24.45 a month, £18.95 first 3 months, 18month contract, total cost: £423.60, ave: £23.53 a month ), then they will waive the connection fee.
I currently have an account with Be from my old home, which I was planning to transfer onto the line here once it was installed. That costs £17.50 a month, but I'd have to pay the connection fee. Keeping it all in terms of an 18month contract, this works out at £6.81 a month. Making a total of, £24.31 a month.
I think the BT one comes with a voip phone (not interested), and unlimited openzone use.
What are BT like as an ISP. Why do they advertise 20mb instead of 24mb. What technology do they use. What is the 'home hub' like?
My exchange is; http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/SLSF and i'm aprox 800m from it.
I download a lot. I don't play many online games. Do BT traffic shape?
