Virgin slow your connection should you download too much but they don't strictly limit you like the adsl boys and you can live away from the exchange....

I get...... 0.03 on Broadband BT. 😿. For example. To update my iPhone would take 13 hours. Can't wait for the time to come to cancel. BT have been shit.

Cheapest conventional broadband I know of comes from Plusnet. Can't vouch for how good it is though as I'm a Virgin cable user.

At moment ppl say virgin as fast(get closest to spew advertised no matter how far from exchange) plus net is cheap n give unlimited downloads,which is a must, I want 10mb d/l speeds really, Dnt know about bt infinity? Virgin withstrict bandwidth after so much gb, even though u can d/l as much gb as u like it slows down after so much,at moment that seems best option? As don't trust the asdl as don't know how far from exchange ad even then peak time are slower aren't they?? Thing is I watch alot of YouTube /Dnt watch tv much,that's why need unlimited,as fed up of going over or having to watch what I use,although 15gb for £15 is brilliant as dongles go

Virgin by a mile!
Most reliable, cheapest and only fibre optic 50mg (well to your door then its coax but exchange to exchange to servers all is all imortant),
Wouldnt touch BT(conning bastards) or SKy who should stick to TV..
Virgin or X NTL Telewest, get what you pay for with them!

Sky is so shit tho. I'm considering switching to virgin as I need their tv connection anyway. But as far as value for money goes my sky deal works out good.
