Cunny78 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 Hi... I'm wanting to upgrade my internet speed from 512k. I'm currently with freeserve/wanado...but if I upgrade with them you get a monthly usage thing which I dont want. So can anyone recommend a unlimited broadband ISP with like 1gb download thing or higher? Cunny.
Lakey508 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 Hello Cunny, Try these mate www.pipex.net Been with them for 2 years only had 2 days of downtime since and I'm online all day for work. Also they are in the BT upgrade program. So if I have read it right, if you subscribe to a 1meg line by the end of the year you should get a free upgrade to a 2 meg line free. Hope that helps, Cheers Lakey
Cunny78 Posted April 13, 2005 Author Report Posted April 13, 2005 Cheers Lakey, My m8 has this and they said they are good. It's also cheaper than what I pay a month aswell.

Have a look at www.pipex.net for the info. Cheers Lakey

JohnMid Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 All BT based ADSL ISPs are changing to a "fair use" limit due to the new way they're charged for the capacity. So with plusnet now it's 30gb for downloads outside of "off peak" time (midnight to seven am or whatever). Of course, the good ISPs will be offering maximum possible line speeds along with this with no increase in sub cost (because it costs the same to them whether you're running at 512k or 8mb/sec). Plusnet haven't made any moves to that effect (boo hiss) but it doesn't all kick in outside of trial areas until September anyway. Any ISP charging fees to upgrade your line speed will be similarly extracting the micturate, because they won't particularly have to do anything to enable it.
