Hi,
In next month i changing place and unfortunately there will be a phone line bb option only for me. (Plymouth,South West) I can choose between those (i checked the postcode only because do not have phone number yet, must get it from BT)
1.BT
2. VM (non cable area)
3. TalkTalk
4. Orange (i think)

Best option for me will be unlimited downloads and the 12 month contract(or even less).
I read that BT is not so good,VM high pings various speed problems what about TalkTalk or Orange?
I don't know how far i will be from exchange But from the postcode i have it is saying You can get up to 8Mb.

Cheers
 
OK so i picked up those 4 ,my bad ;] Through this BT wholesale and dozen ones which to pick ? I can spend max 30quid (monthly rental 4 the line inc) Enta - i don't think it is possible here in Plymouth (Samknows need phone number to check possibility but don't have it yet)
When it comes to unlimited hmmm there a months that I download 60-70GB and some with 10-20 so presumably 40GB one will be enough.

I pay 22/mo for plusnet which I think are owned by BT now - I get "Up to 8mb" ADSL (I get around 6.5Mbps - downloading from Usenet now at around 820KB/s) The deal's pretty good, totally unlimited between midnight and 4pm - but 15GB 4-12pm before capping starts, but even then, they only cap during the peak time.

@Trifid: Are Entanet still going? they were our first ISP back in 97 when you had to pay per minute for 56K :( I always thought they were a tiny company that would've died by now.

I read a little about them and i must say maybe this one . Despite 10GB cap but overnight usage doesn't count. And the pro package seems nice -19,99 for the Pro. I must check if monthly line rental is incl. in the price

Don't people usually reccommend ADSL24 as the best enta ?

in isp review they recommend Fast :)most of the time.
Anyway , everywhere i must add a line rental price yes? (when is not pointed that is included)

I get an answer from Fast :(
"(...)
PL2 1AN will only receive a reliable 512Kbps connection, so not very fast I'm afraid"
F%^$# that is crap... so i must choose some ADSL max which should be up to 8mb(that was various websites saying)
 
Oh and another one,
If the guys from Fast saying u can get 512 kb only that mean that all enta resellers will do that speed or possible that other will go faster ?
And to go deeper from IPS reiew from top 10 almost everyone is enta? how could i check that ?

It takes postcodes too. If fast.co.uk are correct in saying that the most you can get is 512kbps, it's all you'll get from any ADSL ISP - but it's extremely unlikely, unless you're in the back of beyond or at the end of a very poor quality line.

funny on various sites i get ...Your line support up to 1MB and on the other ...U can get up to 8Mb.
On samknows there is that Plymouth is ADSL max enabled, but this is not enough? i mean if its here so there must be everywhere(cover all region) or no? And on same page Entanet not available when Fast said OK but slow :| pfff confusing

i just checked and you're only 600 odd metres from the exchange. now although that doesn't guarantee you'll get maximum speeds, i'm sure you'll get a lot faster than 512k. i guess you'll have to wait until you have a phoneline to find out though.

TY i tried to look somewhere how far from exchange i will be but I failed :(
I thinking the same ...i try to get new number before 1 January maybe and then i could check with ADSL24/Fast/PlusNET maybe.
