Re: How Fast is your Internet?

well at my work, we have 20meg broadband by virgin, infact i just sent off for a new superhub modem, which means by next week ill be getting 60mbs i cant wait.

At home, im with sky, unlimited up to 20meg, i say id get around 10 usually.

Takes the P but you get what you pay for, which virgin, as its fibre optic, you are usually gonna get top speed all the time.

I know BT do infinity, but id prob pick virgin over any of them as ive dealt with them for years and had no issues.

Re: How Fast is your Internet?

unlimited internet (Yes its unlimited usage - subject to traffic watch)

Gotta be careful of the traffic watch, I got a letter warning me about my bandwidth usage, apparently I was in the top 0.05% of private users

I spoke to a guy in their call centre and he told me it wasn't monitored between 9pm and 9am, so if you anticipate downloading large files then those are the times to do it.

Since amending my usage times I haven't heard a peep from them.

Re: How Fast is your Internet?

Excellent - that's what I was hoping for. We are doing away with our landline (and hence broadband) at the end of this month - broadband goes in 5 days!) as we have loads of contracted minutes and 3 dongles giving 15GB of internet each, as well as two smart phones which can be used as a dongle to access the web. There's even an app so several computers can access through one phone.

This is why I've been working through the apps to find a good one for recording from a mobile. The speed on a dongle is sufficient for us.

Just a quick thought BBoo

if you are an o2 mobile customer (more than 2 years), you get your phoneline 1/2 price and broadband 1/2 price.

mine is going to cost me total: £15.00 p/mth: (12mth contract), rollover for another year (if happy with them), if you sign up before March 2012

unlimited internet (Yes its unlimited usage - subject to traffic watch)
wifi router unit (Free)
telephone line rental
*evening and weekend calls £1.90 extra (thats an add on, but i have enough free mins so not bothering with that)

i'll post my line speed (when its all connected, got the router box, engineering coming out to install me a new phone line 1/2 price £43 rather than £86)

Good luck on either BBoo, network 3, i've found very good (but depends on your HSPDA network area for reception) Linky for postcode Huawei Premium dongle on Three

Gotcha now yes BT are crap anyway

Re: How Fast is your Internet?

Please could you expand on this?

i don't own a Landline - i use a Dongle for internet - 3GB £15 p/mth

BT would charge £200 to put a telephone line - in the property, thus paying £200, followed by signing a 24 mth contract to have a phoneline and a broadband connection (whatever the costs are = more than o2 anyhoo).

o2, will put an line in for half price, as i am an long serving customer ie £86. xp for the sum of £43 xp for the engineer to come out. Phone line and All Rounder unlimted internet package able to recieve up to 20MB (subject to traffic - ie 12-16MB) speed as i live about 200 yrs from the exchange for £6.25 rather than £12.50 (as an long customer of o2), and the phone line would be £9 Flat. Or £10.50 for weekend and evening calls (But i have enough mins on Phone, so wont need)

Re: How Fast is your Internet?

5corpio,

Like everything while it may sound good do your homework first, they say unlimited but the only truly unlimited service I know off is sky.

Who are you with now and who is your TV service provider?

Re: How Fast is your Internet?

BBoo,

Yes that has happened a couple of times with me and as you say a phone call sorts it, however the beauty is that the unlimited service truely is unlimited no restrictions on downloading at all and as my son downloads a lot of music related programs of a large size that is a big bonus.

When I was with BT I was forever getting emails telling me we had exceeded the download limit and was thus limiting our service.
