Which ISP now?

RoleyBirkin · 1 Nov 2008 at 13:01

Read around on here for advice but found no definitive answer.

Leaving Plusnet, and looking for a 8mb unlimited [broadband ONLY] 'competitive' deal.

Virgin seems to viable, but who knows....

Members have mentioned a F&F o2 deal, but not sure if that's possible or what it entails!

I download an awful lot with my 16mb unlimited Sky package (connect at about 10mbps) and its super reliable as well. For £10 on top of the standard Sky subscription its a bargain as far as I'm concerned.

Because I'm 'outside' the Sky network, their very reasonable 8mb monthly package shoots up from £5 to £17!
But that's fairly irrelevant as I don't get sky tv.

o2.

EDIT - (Google for more info, it's bloody flawless imo)

Once again, 02's 8mb package looks attractive initially at £12.50 for non 02 mob users

Punch in the postcode and viola, that jumps up to £22.50. Game over.

Eh, why would it jump to £22.50 because of your postcode?

Hutch · 1 Nov 2008 at 16:58

was looking at dsl myself recently, think that price is becuase your local loop wouldnt be unbundled or perhaps o2 dont think it is? Or something like that anyway

No O2 LLU presence at the exchange, so you have to take Home Access (which starts at £17.50 though).

Seems so - outside the God damn network! :mad:

Aye, leaving me with a choice of Orange/CPW on that account

tolien · 1 Nov 2008 at 17:18

Or any of the hundreds of BT Wholesale ISPs.

RoleyBirkin · 1 Nov 2008 at 18:06

So, any bright ideas?!

Richdog · 1 Nov 2008 at 18:10

Do a bit of research http://www.thinkbroadband.com/isps.html

tolien · 1 Nov 2008 at 18:12

Or take a look here. It's not like "recommend an ISP" threads are rare (here's a clue, Enta resellers are popular)...

marmalade · 1 Nov 2008 at 18:14

If CWP have opened the exchanget hen it's possible o2 will be along - in due course

Been there, done that.

Not really seeing anything obviously competitive on that Enta site.

Richdog · 2 Nov 2008 at 12:44

If you've "been there, done that"... as well as searched the gazillion "Which ISP" threads on this very forum... then you should now have enough info to make a decision...

RoleyBirkin · 2 Nov 2008 at 12:49

There's a lot of 'shoulds' in life. How about the benefit of the doubt this time!

How about elaborating on this F&F 02 arrangement?
