i was just wondering who you get your braodband off and how much is it ? and where u think there is a better company to get it off than the company u use ?

the reason for the questions is that i use a company called. "giointernet" its £19.99 for 512kb, but i have been having problems lately, like its havin a lot of down time. so i am thinkin about changing provider

Here, in Spain, havin Internet is very expensive. I pay 45€/month for a 256 download / 128 upload kbps ADSL. All the companies are have the same price and nearly the same QoS. About calbe, you can have 300 kbps cable paying something similar to what I pay, however that's not availabel everywhere and where it is, they don't let you open ports under 1024 (ie: you can't have a web server or a FTP).

Woah

My ISP is like 30.00 - 40.00 a month for 1 - 1.5 MB download and they gave us free webspace and emails. (Cable)

And thats with the added cost of us renting the modem. (We are going to get a new one for ourselves soon.)

Blueyonder.

£29.99 a Month for 1.5MB.

no it isnt JMac... i just looked at prices, 1.5mbit with Blueyonder is £35 p/m when ordered with another Blueyonder package, or £37.99 p/m when ordered on its own...

NTL and Blueyonder are soon to be updating their Broadband speeds for free, due to fierce competition with each other.

NTL currently provides:

150k (£17.99)
600k (£24.99)
1mbit (£35.99)

Because of competition, around the August time, they are upgrading customers free of charge to

300k
750k
1.5mbit


For people like me on 150k, that's a good uprade (double speeds for free).

Although, I wish I had a 600k/1mbit connection.

Blueyonder are doing a similar thing, although all I know is that they are going to boost 2mb connections to 3mb. Which is a biiiiaaaaaatttttccchh!

[i]Edit: Is it 1.5mbit for Blueyonder atm? I'm not sure...

256kbps - £15.99 a month for me and its always on and wiv jwb's improving hidden browser its wicked cause i can have it on wivout it being in the toolbar so parents think i'm doing homework, and i have the boss protection on which rules!!
