Hey, I'm on BT Yahoo! at the moment which is okayish. Its good reliable service and theyre in the process of upgrading me to 2mb for free which is quite decent. Thing is, at around the same time they upgrade my speed they are going to put a 30gb limit on the service. I dont think I download enough to reach this bandwidth limit but I also play games, send emails and browse quite alot, and it all adds up. I reckon I'd probably be safe but I'm thinking about changing ISP to an unlimited bandwidth service?
What UK service provider would you recommend to me?
Thanks :D

Wanadoo broadband is meant to be good, no limit's I think. I couldn't have an ISP with any sort of limit. You never know what your going to download so why have the restriction! One day it's a song or two, next it's a dvd so definately change your provider dude! Wanadoo is dirt cheap too...!

Hey is anyone on ZEN Internet??
It looks pretty decent, its a little more expensive than BT but its got no bandwidth cap and it looks like a no bullshit company. Looks less focused on giving you shitty features you dont need, and more focused on being a good provider. Is anyone currently on ZEN ADSL? How do you find it? How is the NewsServer access, is it filtered?
Thanks
EDIT: Access to over 50,000 newsgroups
Zen offer a high-quality comprehensive newsgroup service, without restriction, allowing you to keep up to date with virtually any subject that interests you. Zen newsgroups are also available, which means that you can interact and exchange useful advice or swap experiences with fellow users - and direct customer feedback to Zen staff who also participate regularly.

I think it looks an amzing ISP but I'd still like to hear from somebody who uses it :D

I'm fairly certain that you would already have a 30gb limit on it anyway, even if they didn't have it when you originally signed up they would of ammended your contract to include it.
Be careful with some companies they may say no download limits, but if you read the small print they have excessive use clauses some at 30gb.

Hello all.
I use Eclipse Internet. Not cheap, but solid downloads, over 100GB at 1152kbs during April.
