Page 1 of Reccomend me a new ISP (moving to non-cabled area)

Hi guys and gals,

I`m shortly moving out of home (at last!) to a new flat but unfortunately its in a non-cabled part of town so I won`t be able to take my NTL/Virgin account with me.

Typically, the area I`ll be moving to will only get a max speed of 3.5MB (already checked the BT checker). Just wondered if anyone could reccommend me a good ISP.

The only thing I really need is someone that isn`t too strict on the monthly allowance as I download a fair bit of tv from the states.

Hope someone can help,

(Apologies if this is the wrong forum mods)

Have a look at thinkbroadband.com, if you check the forums you might get an idea of some of the better (and worse) providers.
I`m with PlusNet, and have been very happy with their service (although no doubt others will tell you they are rubbish - same as will happen with any ISP (some people even praise AOL, for example)).

well pre-broadband I was with AOL, but as AOL is now part of TalkTalk and the amount of problems I know people have had with them I had more or less written them off!

I`ve been with AOL since 2001 and i haven`t had a single problem, except when i first installed my router and even then that was sorted over the phone with them in no time. No capped downloads and no fair use policy:D

I`d recommend UKFSN

I`m on the Home Max 30 package which gives me 30GB/month peak and 300GB/month off-peak download limits for £19.99 on a monthly contract , I joined up after reading the ratings here.

The speed does sometimes slow down to 2Mb around 10 PM ( start of off peak hours ) when everyone starts to download the internet but it normally picks back up soon after the surge , they have a webpage that tells you how busy the network is and what speeds you can expect here.
