currently i am with freedom 2 surf unlimited with a 2mb speed, its an old tarrif but it is a monthly contract with no tie ins and its £25 a month, it really is unlimited as i can download as much as i want and have no problems downloading up to 300gb per month.

i want to change to a faster speed and better deal but anything i have seen is limited or has fair usage policy or is restricted at peak times, when im downloading it is 24 hours a day for days on end so needs to have no restrictions.

can anyone suggest an isp that truely is unlimited or a limit of 300gb and around the same price as my current £25 but with a faster speed. Or should i just stick with the package i have got.

I dont have cable so only usng my bt line for broadband

the bt checker says
Our test also indicates that your line should be able to support a potential ADSL Max broadband line rate of 5.5Mbps up to 8Mbps.

Try their checker.

Also visit http://www.samknows.com/broadband/ and see if you can get an LLU providers in your area.

bethere is not available in my area and the availability checker on samknows says the only services available are bt wholsale adsl and bt wholesale max adsl.

that sux

i download month on and month off so one month is heavy and the next is just internet use as it takes me a while to enjoy my downloads but the month i do download its quite constant

thanks for that, the packages available and would suit me are £20 and i would get 30gb peak and 300gb offpeak however i would need to be able to set newsleecher to start and stop during offpeak hours and no downloads during peak hours, im not sure if thats possible i im not very advanced at using newsleecher.

but if i can have it set to come on and off then those packages are certainly worth looking at.
 
Ok i have just called freedom2surf and requested a mac code and im going to sign up with ukfsn since it seems to be one of the most popular isp's on here. I will go for the home max 30 option with 30gb peak and 300gb off peak.

looking forward to the faster speeds and saving £5 a month, i now know how to set newsleecher to pause during peak hours so everything should be hunky dory.

thanks again for the sound advice
 
i got my email and mac code from freedom2 surf, i was shocked at this

Once you have migrated away your f2s account will be deleted from our database unless you retain another billable service within the same
account. You will lose all your free email, webspace and database
services.

does this mean im going to lose my main email address and ill need to change it with all the websites it is registered too

if so that sux, i thought you could keep old email addresses going
